First, I want to tell you a story from my childhood. My father and I were fishing in a beautiful river that ran through our family citrus orchard in the North of Iran. Fifteen years later, when I turned twenty-five, no fish lived in that beautiful river since all were killed by a large number of insecticides used to control citrus pests. In addition, year by year, pests have become resistant to chemical pesticides. We are developing a microbial solutions by using beneficial fungi and bacteria, In order to help farmers to promote crop yield with high quality or environmental cleaning . Our product is highly effective on specific soil contamination, or pest and it is non-toxic to mammals & pollinators. We are developing biofertilizer too.

Market Validation for Phosphate biological fertilizer
Phosphorus (P), a crucial and often-limiting soil nutrient in nature, is confined to minerals, rocks and oceanic deposits. Only inorganic orthophosphate (Pi, PO4 3−), can be absorbed directly by the roots . Pi utilization creates a special zone in the rhizosphere, which is called Pi depletion zone, an area where active Pi acquisition takes place but is not replaced at the same rate due to a low P diffusion rate. An adequate P application from an early stage of growth is essential for optimal crop production . In addition, the need to feed an increasing global population will lead to a higher demand for Pi fertilizer and eventually will make producing crops more costly. Microbes allow the plant to exploit a larger volume of soil and maximizing the total absorptive area. Moreover, endophytes acquire P from organic sources that are not available directly to plants .
Creating graphic design assets
We're looking for a student to help us with the creation of new graphic design assets. This will include: We have a basic designed logo and would like to improve it Creating graphic design assets for Introducing BioSam vision (To be a global leader in innovative crop protection to save the planet by reducing chemical application, in food production) to LinkedIn followers and website (samples attached).
Improving the phytoremediation potential by exploiting of endophytes
Human industrial activities have been leaving millions of hectares of land polluted with trace element metals and persistent organic pollutants around the world. Hence, bioremediation technology is an eco-friendly cost-benefit solution. Fungi and bacteria possess the biochemical and ecological capacity to degrade environmental organic chemicals. Unlike bacteria, fungi do not require continuous water phases for active dispersal. Nevertheless, Plant symbiotic fungi facilitate the movement of Exo/endo-hyphal bacteria to shape tripartite interaction. Pollutant-degrading fungi produce different types of enzymes allowing them to act on a wide range of pollutants (Table 1). Filamentous fungi treat/remove metals, metalloids, radionuclides, aliphatic hydrocarbons, chlorophenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, synthetic dyes, and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in surface soils, water streams, and air streams.
Arsenic Bioremediation Potential by Exploiting of Beneficial Microbes
Human industrial activities have been leaving millions of hectares of land polluted with trace element metals around the world. Hence, bioremediation technology is an eco-friendly cost-benefit solution. Bioaugmentation , the addition of cultured microorganisms to the soil is an option to remediate contaminated areas. Fungi and bacteria possess the biochemical and ecological capacity to absorb and detoxify environmental arsenic. They can treat/remove arsenic from the environment. Bioaugmentation-assisted phytoremediation shows greater efficiencies and performs complete arsenic removal from soil compared with only bioaugmentation. The goal of this project is literature review to select of hyperaccumulator species, potential microbial species, analysis of interaction mechanisms, and potential usage of treating plant biomass after treatment.
