BUSINESS
Agricultural biologicals company commercializing a nitrogen-fixing bacterium (Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus) as a foliar-applied microbial inoculant for non-legume crops. Founded 2012, based in York, UK, with offices in California and Ontario, originating from research at the University of Nottingham. The bacterium, originally isolated from sugarcane, colonizes plant cells intracellularly and fixes atmospheric nitrogen; a distinct mechanism from rhizosphere-based competitors. Flagship product Envita commercialized in North America since 2019, OMRI-certified for organic use.
