bioremediation trace element biochemistry bacterial cultures soil scienceHuman 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.

About the company
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.
