About AgraFilms
Harnessing the power of predation to develop innovative biocontrol solutions that protect crops and preserve harvests.
How It Works
Spore Germination
Dormant Dicty spores rapidly germinate into active amoebae upon encountering bacterial pathogens.
Targeted Hunting
The amoebae replicate in the presence of their specific bacterial prey, initiating a targeted hunting process.
Pathogen Elimination
The amoebae digest the targeted pathogens, effectively eliminating the infection.
Key Advantages
Specificity
Dicty amoebae can be tailored to target individual pathogenic strains, minimizing collateral damage to beneficial microbes.
Effectiveness
Proven efficacy against various pathogens, including species like Pectobacterium carotovorum, Dickeya dianthicola, Erwinia amylovora, and others.
Safety
Naturally occurring and safe for humans, animals, and plants.
Resilience
Spores can survive extreme environmental conditions, ensuring stability and longevity.
Convenience
Long shelf life of dormant spores simplifies storage and transportation.
AgraFilm's approach represents a significant advancement in the fight against antimicrobial resistance, offering a targeted, effective, and safe alternative to traditional antibiotics.
