Ancient extremophile microbial library
Ancient Organics maintains a proprietary library of approximately 2,000 ancient and extremophilic microorganisms isolated from deep-sea sediment cores and amber deposits dating from ~20 to 100 million years before present.
The collection includes spore-forming Bacillus spp., actinobacteria, and select yeasts recovered under sterile paleomicrobiological protocols.
Comparative genomic analyses indicate measurable divergence from modern phylogenetic relatives, including variation in stress-response pathways, secondary metabolite biosynthesis clusters, and nutrient acquisition systems. These genetic distinctions may confer unique ecological resilience and competitive advantages in contemporary soils.
Several proprietary isolates from this library are incorporated into PaleoPower®, the Company’s patented soil probiotic platform.
This ancient microbial collection represents a rare opportunity to interrogate deep-time biodiversity for novel enzymes, metabolites, and functional traits with potential applications in regenerative agriculture, stress resilience, nutrient cycling, and bioremediation.
Ancient Organics is seeking strategic partners to further characterize, sequence, and functionally screen this library for commercial development.
About Ancient Organics Bioscience, Inc.
Ancient Organics Bioscience, Inc. is a biotechnology company that develops advanced microbial inoculants designed to regenerate and detoxify soil. The company utilizes its proprietary MetaFlux metabolic modeling algorithm and genomic precision to identify and assemble robust microbial consortia, which are communities of microbes that work symbiotically to fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphate, and break down toxins. By fortifying these formulations with their NutriCarrier prebiotic and postbiotic matrix, the company creates solutions that persist in the soil to restore health, improve nutrient availability, and increase crop yields while reducing reliance on synthetic chemical fertilizers.
These solutions are particularly significant for farmers and growers addressing challenges such as unproductive soil, poor plant health, and environmental contaminants, including the degradation of glyphosate and sequestration of heavy metals like lead and arsenic. The company's flagship product, PaleoPower, has received full organic certification from the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. By leveraging evidence-based microbial technology to rebuild soil vitality and reduce chemical dependency, Ancient Organics aims to support sustainable agriculture and the production of safer food, backed by research and field trials conducted by experts in microbial ecology and plant pathology.
