PhageFire project

The #PhageFire project is devised to satisfy the unmet need for a secure and reliable solution to control #FireBlight disease in pome fruits.

Last month consortium members visited Kimitec at the MAAVi Innovation Center in Vícar, Almería, where attendees discussed the project's progression from a product development and marketing standpoint.

Deputy CEO Dr. Tamás Kovács of Enviroinvest and Ph.D. student Dominika Bali gave a presentation on the R&D of phage-based biopesticides at the annual meeting of the Hungarian Society for Microbiology. Results of the Phagefire project were also presented during the presentation.

Propagation of the disease

Fire Blight is dangerous disease since Erwinia amylovora can propagate very easy.

Pome fruit trees sprouted on March.
If flowers get infected by Erwinia amylovora during the blossom period they will develop the #FireBlight disease. Our mission in #PhageFire, project funded by the #EC in the framework #Horizon2020, is to protect the flowers with phages.

@Kimitec, ZHAW , @Enviroinvest and @PerasDeRincon have been working on PhageFire project for more than a year and a half. In March started the field trials have commenced in the orchards of the DOP Peras de Rincón de Soto.🌳

In our fermenters, Erwinia becomes an endless source of phages, being able to multiply them at a huge concentration.
And this means… @KimitecGroup 's first goal in the project has been achieved: To create a growth medium where different phages can be produced with high yields!

[PhageFire project @PhageFireEu]

Achieving your goals is the first step to make a dream come true

@KimitecGroup 's MAAVi Innovation Center, one of our partners in the #Phagefire project, has managed to optimize the conditions of Erwinia amylovora to maximize the propagation of bacteriophages.

💥@PhageFireEu!

♻ A phage-based #biopesticide to combat #fireblight, one of the most difficult phytosanitary diseases to eradicate.

🤔 Do you want to know how this natural and biotechnological solution is able to eliminate this #bacterium?
