Auxcitri Citrus Canker Killer (Xanthamonas citri) Auxergen Rice Blight Solution (Xanthamonas oryzae) RC-RNases (American Bullfrog)

Auxcitri Citrus Canker Killer

Citrus Canker (Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri) Bacterium causes lesions on the leaves,

stems, and fruit of citrus trees, including lime, oranges, and grapefruit

Results in the premature dropping of the fruit and product which is unappealing for sale

Widespread effects (entire Florida citrus crop under quarantine) 69.5 million trees, 532,000+ acres, diminishing yields

Eradication methods suboptimal: copper-based bactericides cause other problems (growth of mite populations)

Auxcitri Citrus Canker Killer

Cf-Canker Bacteriophage Auxcitri infects the canker bacteria,

modifies it’s nucleoid resulting in the destruction (lysis) of the bacteria

Can be sprayed on the trees, fruit, leaves, etc.

If it fails to find X. citri bacteria, it dies and decomposes (in hours)

Repeated treatments over a few years should be enough to effectively eradicate the infection

Auxergen Rice Blight Solution

Xanthomonas oryzae, bacterial rice blight disease

Can destroy up to 80 percent of a crop Prevalent in Asia (extremely so in south Asia, but

also North America, Africa and Australia In Japan, annual losses estimated between

22,000 and 110,000 tons In the Philippines, susceptible varieties lose up

to 22.5% of the total harvest during wet seasons and up to 7.2% in the dry season. In resistant crops, these numbers are, respectively, 9.5% and 1.8%

Auxergen Rice Blight Solution

Using similar bacteriophage engineering of bacteriophages

To kill and prevent the spread of Xanthomonas oryzae

Could have enormous impact on rice yields, reducing prices and hunger
