Phages have high host specificity by infesting bacteria and causing their lysis and death, can efficiently infest and lyse target bacteria and have the advantage of keeping the natural microflora undisturbed. Phages are highly host-specific, and the specific sites of phages and bacteria combine with each other during the Brownian movement. Except for a minimal number of phages, each phage strain only infiltrates one type of bacteria, so using phages to control the target flora while not interfering with the average growth of other microorganisms has an absolute advantage over common bactericides.
Lifeasible provides professional agricultural phage control and efficacy testing services. We have a professional plant culture site and laboratory to provide a full range of services for your project. Our full range of services includes phage enrichment, extraction, purification, gene sequencing, and efficacy testing to help our customers better develop agricultural phages for better disease control.
Our culture base can cultivate seeds of crops to ensure that the seeds are fully germinated and developed for a certain period in an environment suitable for crop growth. When they grow to a certain height and are in a healthy state, they can be used for disease susceptibility experiments.
Infect crops with pathogens (e.g., white leaf blight bacterium, etc.) and judge the infection of crops through instrumental observation.
While the crop disease susceptibility experiment is being conducted, spray treatment of phage suspension is done on the crop. Periodically, the suspense is sprayed on the susceptible crops, the diseased parts are collected, and bacteria are extracted and counted. At the same time, the difference in the formation of disease spots and the change in the length of the sites can also be directly observed, and the effectiveness of phage on disease control can be judged by examining the above contents.
We can provide professional agricultural phage disease control effect testing service to our customers; we also provide all project data reports, including experimental protocols, experimental procedures, and experimental conditions.
Lifeasible has established a one-stop service platform for plants. In addition to obtaining customized solutions for plant genetic engineering, customers can also conduct follow-up analysis and research on plants through our analysis platform. The analytical services we provide include but are not limited to the following:
