Problem
Current methods for assessing soil microbiomes lack the resolution, accessibility, and affordability needed to provide actionable insights for producers. This limits the ability to optimize agricultural practices based on the biological information present in the soil.
Solution
TAXON Bio leverages genomics and artificial intelligence to provide detailed analysis of soil microbiomes, enabling informed decision-making for sustainable agriculture. The company's technology identifies beneficial and harmful microorganisms, establishes their proportions, and groups them by functionality. By analyzing the genomic sequencing of microorganisms, TAXON helps clients verify recombinant constructs, validate producing strains, expedite the identification of new coding genes, and solidify patent strategies. The company's services convert biological information hidden in the soil into sustainable increases in crop yields, reduces reliance on agrochemicals, and optimizes the microbiota of the area.
Target Audience
TAXON Bio serves producers, researchers, and corporate clients in the agriculture and biotechnology sectors seeking to optimize crop yields, develop biological products, and implement sustainable agricultural practices.
