bacteriophage: reducing bacterial spoilage naturally

 

APS Biocontrol Ltd. (APS) develops biocontrol solutions for the management of bacterial diseases and other microbial contaminants in agriculture and food processing, where concerns regarding the use of synthetic chemicals have resulted in a programme of withdrawals that will have a dramatic impact on the ability of (a) growers to achieve commercial yields and quality and (b) suppliers to ensure the quality of post-harvest packed produce. APS’ patented Biolyse technology (based on naturally-occurring antimicrobials; bacteriophage) provides safe, effective and environmentally-sustainable replacements.

Bacteriophage are ideal candidates for sustainable crop protection, with the potential to make a significant contribution towards improving UK agriculture’s productive efficiency and drive towards net zero production. The technology can be applied to any bacterial pathogen/contaminant situation and we have a pipeline of solutions across the agricultural and horticultural sectors, with solutions ranging from initial candidate selection, through trials and ongoing regulatory consideration.
