Why we chose Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus as your intimate gatekeeper:

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (B.Y.M.® 1405) is the organism that powers P.Happi® and has been the subject of research and peer reviewed papers for decades. The technology has been patented by the company.

Unique Predatory Nature:

  • Microbial balancer: Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a bacterium with a predatory lifestyle, targeting and consuming other Gram-negative bacteria. This predatory behaviour plays a crucial role in regulating bacterial populations and maintaining balance within microbial communities.

 

Nature's Defender:

  • Ecological impact: Predation is a fundamental ecological interaction that influences ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. Bdellovibrio's predatory activities illustrate how such interactions can shape microbial communities and contribute to the evolutionary process. It is a bacterium from nature (water, soil etc.) and has been researched for decades.

 

Dual Threat and Powerhouse:

  • Dual Role: Bdellovibrio exhibits both probiotic properties and the ability to detoxify bad bacteria. It helps maintain a healthy microbial balance by controlling harmful bacteria and serves as a natural antagonist to pathogenic microorganisms.
  • Biofilm Disruption: Research shows that Bdellovibrio can penetrate and disrupt biofilms, which are clusters of bacteria that can be resistant and difficult to get rid of.
