Agbiome

AgBiome is a biotechnology company using new knowledge of the plant-associated microbiome to create innovative products for agriculture. We have compiled the world’s largest collection of fully-sequenced and annotated microbes from the crop microbiome, and we are screening this collection with validated, proprietary pipelines to discover new biologicals and trait genes. Partnerships with leading agricultural companies [such as Syngenta and Genective] accelerate our discovery process and allow us to deliver solutions to global markets. We employ 36 full-time and 14 part-time employees and will occupy a new state-of-the-art 30,000 square foot laboratory and greenhouse facility in early 2016. AgBiome’s products will help farmers combat many of the most important unsolved problems in agriculture, including insects, nematodes, and diseases. Our first product, a biological fungicide, has been submitted for regulatory review, with first sales anticipated in 2016.
