BioConsortia's Nitrogen Fixing microbes (shown in green) survive on corn seed for up to 2 years. - After planting, they colonize the germinating seedling and grow alongside the corn roots, fixing nitrogen in the root zone throughout the season.
- “We can offer the extended shelf- and seed-life products because our platform is focused on Gram-positive microbes,” explained Dr. Hong Zhu, SVP of R&D at BioConsortia.
- “We made our job as microbial product designers much more complex because Gram-positive microbes are not generally known for their nitrogen-fixing functionality.
