Microbial Solutions for Agriculture

Enrich the Health of Your Soil

Soil health plays an important role in productive, efficient agriculture. Asymmetry Technologies develops microbial solutions for agricultural applications, with a focus on supporting soil function, water absorption and retention, root development, and nutrient availability. Our work combines microbial expertise with applied research to help advance biological solutions for agricultural challenges.

Our team and partners bring decades of experience in the microbial marketplace, spanning microbial isolation, screening, identification, and characterization. We use analytical methods such as PCR, qPCR, and MALDI-TOF analysis to help identify and evaluate microorganisms for specific applications.

Beyond microbial discovery and analysis, Asymmetry supports key stages of microbial product development and commercialization. Our capabilities include media optimization, fermentation, and the harvesting and purification of target microorganisms or their metabolites. By combining scientific evaluation with process development, we help support the advancement of microbial technologies from research toward commercial application.

Organism Selection

Organism selection is key for a successful solution. Asymmetry laboratory staff performs series of tests to determine the appropriate microbial selection. This testing can include:

  1. Environmental Growth parameters such as temperature or pH
  2. Metabolic pathways that yield a desired metabolite such as antibiotics or enzymes
  3. Ability to target specific pests in plants. Both agricultural and ornamental
  4. Ability to aid in and support plant growth 
  5. Ability to degrade or solubilize specific compounds

Our culture bank includes strains from prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike. We offer multiple species of organisms including:

  • Arthrobacter
  • Aspergillus
  • Azotobacter
  • Bacillus
  • Bradyrhizobium
  • Cellulomonas
  • Bacillus
  • Glomus
  • Lactobacillus
  • Paenibacillus
  • Penicillium
  • Phanerochaete
  • Pseudomonas
  • Rhizobium
  • Rhodococcus
  • Rhodobacter
  • Streptomyces
  • Trichoderma

All strains are isolated then propagated into our cryo-stock and maintained at -80C for stable storage and distribution.
