The future of biologicals, powered by living fossils

We researched bacteria that have inhabited the planet for 3.5 billion years to create the world's first seed treatment inoculant made by extremophiles. Our technology helps improve nutrient availability and supports crops under environmental stress, which may contribute to more consistent and improved yield performance.

What are Extremophiles?

Puna Bio – Hand Showing a Cross-Section of a Brown-Layered Tuber

These are microorganisms that have evolved in extreme environments. Using extremophile bacteria from the Argentine Puna and advanced technology, we develop seed treatment microbial inoculants that enhance crop performance and regenerate soils.
