CRISPR-based Guided Biotics platform for precision microbiome modulation

FOLIUM Science is a biotech developing a patented CRISPR-Cas platform that selectively silences genes in target bacteria to modulate animal and food microbiomes without disrupting beneficial microbial populations.

Designed as an antibiotic alternative for livestock production, the technology is being commercialised as feed additives for poultry, swine, and aquaculture, addressing pathogen burden and ammonia production in farming systems.

Additional applications include bacterial plant pathogen control and soil microbiome conditioning.
