For years scientists knew pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs) co-existed with all plants, yet their function was unclear.
Decades ago, scientists discovered that some of the most abundant microbes in nature — PPFMs — are also among the most beneficial. Pink in color, these naturally occurring microbes are present on nearly all plants around the world, and deliver a range of benefits to crops throughout the entire growing season.
Founded in 2013, NewLeaf Symbiotics is positioned at the forefront of sustainability agriculture technology, with a singular focus on the development and commercialization of beneficial microbes, methylobacteria known as pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs).
At NewLeaf, we’re well on our way to make agriculture better by working together to provide real, sustainable solutions that meet the needs of a growing population. Our PPFM based technology, Terrasym microbial inoculants, infuse crops with unique PPFM strains that are specifically selected for the intended crop to improve nutrient uptake – making crops stronger, more stable, and more tolerant of abiotic stress up until the day they’re harvested.
