Fixed Phage: Bacteriophages Combat Aquaculture Diseases

Scottish biotech firm, Fixed Phage, is harnessing the power of bacteriophages to combat destructive aquaculture diseases. The company has developed a technology to immobilise and stabilise bacteriophages, allowing them to efficiently destroy harmful bacteria in farmed shrimp and salmon. The bacteriophages are highly specific, targeting only specific strains of bacteria while leaving the rest of the microbiome intact. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionise not only aquaculture but also other industries such as agriculture and food packaging. Fixed Phage expects its products to reach the market within the next 18 months. To learn more about this groundbreaking technology, Read the Full Article via the link:
