Plant protection from harsh conditions.
Reintroduce desert microbes to restore soil to its natural state, protecting plants from heat stress and drought.
Agriculture has a water problem.
Droughts are more frequent and heat stress is intensifying, while irrigation grows less reliable as aquifers deplete. Under deficit irrigation, yields become unstable and the rising cost of water and pumping squeezes margins across every crop.

C1iN Soil Enhancer.
A biological soil amendment build from live desert methane-consuming microbes that changes how crops respont to water and heat stress.
Naturally resilient soil, powered by microbes.
Growth and yield
Improves root architecture and rhizosphere interactions to stimulate crop growth and yield.
Water use efficiency
Improves the soil’s water-holding capacity and moisture retention.
Stress tolerance
Increases tolerance to heat and water stress through multiple physiological pathways.
Yield maintenance
Preserves productivity under reduced irrigation, protecting grower income.
Live Methylocaldum spp.
Liquid concentratent
Proven from lab to field.
01
Synergetic partnership
Our microbes stimulate other plant-growth-promoting microbes already present in the soil.
02
Melanin heat shield
The microbe produces melanin, a natural compound that acts as a natural heat protectant for root systems. It absorbs heat-induced reactive oxygen species, including free radicals, that damage the plant’s cells.
03
Moisture retention
The organism secretes extracellular polymers around the root surface, and one gram of that polymer holds 150 to 200 milliliters of water.
04
Improved root architecture
Helps build the foundation of every plant — its root system — through phytohormone biosynthesis, supporting the plant through periods of stress.
05
Vegetative vigor and membrane protection
Supplies plants with essential nutrient precursors that the plant can use to support its membrane structures during extreme environmental shocks.
06
Improved methane cycling
The microbe consumes atmospheric methane delivered by plants to the soil. It does not compete with the plant for other carbon sources and helps the soil hold on to methane instead of releasing it.
