The invention provides materials and method for controlling pests, in particular, nematodes. The invention also provides compositions comprising biosurfactants as pesticides.

Materials and methods for the control of nematodes

The invention relates to systems and methods for effective production and use of microorganisms and/or the fermentation broth in which they are produced. Advantageously, the system is cost-effective, scalable, quick, versatile, efficacious, and helpful in reducing resistance to chemical compounds and residue that concerns consumers.

Distributed systems for the efficient production and use of microbe-based compositions

Methods are provided for enhancing the health, growth and/or sturdiness of turf grasses by applying a combination of microbes and/or their growth by-products to the turf grass roots and/or to soil. Specifically, in one embodiment, the subject invention utilizesand a strain of. The methods can further be used to improve maintenance and upkeep of natural turf grass fields used in, for example, athletics and recreation, as well as to increase the functionality and safety of these natural turf grass fields.

Methods for enhancing root strength and safety of turf grass

Systems and methods are provided for classifying a microbiome at a geographic site where agricultural activity is, or will be, conducted in order to improve and/or promote agricultural productivity at the site. Machine learning and/or artificial intelligence classifier tools use DNA sequencing input data and environmental information to generate recommendations for customized soil and/or crop treatment compositions, irrigation practices, and/or other agricultural activity, to enhance plant health and crop productivity.

Use of soil and other environmental data to recommend customized agronomic programs

Compositions and methods are provided for enhancing plant immunity, health, growth and yields using a combination of microbes and/or their growth by-products. Specifically, the subject invention enhances plant health, growth and/or yields using a combination of aspp. fungus and aspp. bacterium. Specifically, in one embodiment, the subject invention utilizesand

Microbe-based products for enhancing plant root and immune health

The subject invention provides microbe-based compositions comprising cultivated microorganisms and/or growth by-products thereof, as well as methods and systems for producing and using these compositions. More specifically, the subject invention provides microbe-based compositions comprising biologically pure yeast selected from theclade, and/or growth by-products thereof, such as biosurfactants, enzymes and solvents. Methods of using these compositions to enhance production in agriculture, horticulture, livestock rearing and aquaculture industries are also provided.

Efficient production ofyeasts and their use for enhancing plant and animal health

In one aspect, the invention provides a purified and modified phytase enzyme fromK12 appA phytase. The enzyme has phytase activity and improved thermal tolerance as compared with the wild-type enzyme. In addition, the enzyme has improved protease stability at low pH. Glycosylation of the modified phytase provided a further improved enzyme having improved thermal tolerance and protease stability. The enzyme can be produced from native or recombinant host cells and can be used to aid in the digestion of phytate where desired. In one aspect, the phytase of the present invention can be used in foodstuffs to improve the feeding value of phytate rich ingredients.
