B-COS our products are tailor-made
B-COS is a to-be-incorporated spin-off of Ghent University, offering COS-products that have the potential to replace hazardous chemical pesticides. COS-molecules are nature-inspired products which boost the plant’s defense system in a specific, sustainable and cost-effective way.
Our Approach
Microbes as efficient cell factories
Tapping into evolution by creating a targeted plant vaccine
Sufficient and safe food for all
Scalable and robust production platform of defined chitooligosaccharides.
In-house and tailor-made seed coating solutions for targeted diseases and crops
Combatting the emergence of pesticide resistance by drastically decreasing the need for and intense use of chemical pesticides in greenhouses and on the field
Why Work With Us?
Scalable & Robust platform
Microbial fermentation using engineered bacterial cell factories
Cost-effective
Significant decrease in crop losses for the farmer using effective priming agents
Specificity
Our COS-products are synthesized with a specificity up to 90%
Sustainable
Contributing to a circular bioeconomy
B-COS we improve pathogen tolerance:
We identified and produced very specific COS-structures to be used as alternative biological priming agents. First proof of concept was obtained.
