THE SCIENCE BEHIND
Directed Biotics™
A novel approach in the arena of biologicals
The key to our technology, Directed Biotics™, is delivery - our microbes are precision engineered to provide RNA-based protection against the diseases and pests we are targeting.
Microbes Do The
Heavy Lifting
CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF RNAi IN HOST
Pebble Lab's Directed Biotics™ microbes are living biofactories for RNAi directly in the host
STABILITY IN THE POND / FIELD
Using naturally symbiotic microbes exploits inherent microbial stability through host-microbe relationship
TARGETED IMPACT
Directed Biotics™ is designed to avoid unwanted off-target effects, with no persistence or harm in the environment
The Role of Microbiomes
Since Pebble Labs’ technology uses naturally occurring microbes to deliver RNA, Directed Biotics™ is broadly applicable to plants or animals. The microbes we use are selected from the microbiome of the plant or animal of interest, and are added back to the microbiome as Directed Biotics™ to provide protection against diseases or pests.
Our first products are in shrimp aquaculture and produce such as potatoes and tomatoes.
Directed Biotics™ products
Pebble has a strong international patent portfolio to protect its novel Directed Biotics™ technology.
We are advancing in our research and development program and are currently planning pre-commercial activities.
