Market Overview

N2O-Eaters lies in an emerging field with few existing solutions. There are other labs working to reduce N2O emissions, however, we offer significant advantages.

CURRENT TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON

Technology	Low Frequency	Minimal Environmental Pollution	Controlled Propagation	Ease of Application	Details
Wheat root inoculation with denitrifying bacteria	❌	✅	❌	❌	Temporary, short-term bioaugmentation
Transgenic expression of nosZ in tobacco plant roots	✅	✅	❌	❌	Requires engineering each crop breed prior to seeding
Fertilizer additives	❌	❌	❌	❌	Soil leaching
N2O-Eaters	✅	✅	✅	✅	Simple, stable gene fortification

Other solutions, such as innoculating wheat with denitrifying bacteria requires frequent reinoculation, since the bacteria used are not native to the system. N2O reducing fertilizer additives risk environmental pollution and GMO crops risk gene flow that can create hybrid offspring.

Our system modifies native soil bacteria, which increases its persistence, ultimately decreasing the frequency of reinoculation. N2O Eaters is also the only one with a propagation control mechanism to minimize the risk of gene flow. Most importantly, our system is extremely easy to use: simply add it to the soil during tilling.

Expression of nitrous oxide reductase from *Pseudomonas stutzeri* in transgenic tobacco roots using the root-specific *rolD* promoter from *Agrobacterium rhizogenes* (S. Wang et al, 2012)

Fertilizer stabilizers reduce nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soil by targeting microbial nitrogen transformations (C. Liu et al, 2021)
