Product Development

Our scientists develop products and bioreactors which will become available after successful testing by independent institutions.

 

Currently our scientists develop:

• INOQ Rhodazo for Rhododendrons and Azalea

INOQ Rhodazo is currently being tested at an independent institution in Germany (LVG Bad Zwischenahn).

In addition we are developing highly concentrated inoculum which will be offered in capsules and fertilizer sticks:

• INOQ Mykocaps and

• INOQ Mykosticks

We will gladly inform you about future research and development efforts. Please contact us (info(at)inoq.de) if you have questions.

Bioreactor

Entwicklung eines Bioreaktors zur Anzucht von symbiontischen Mikroorganismen

Bioreactors are used in many industrial productions. Most of them were developed for the propagation of bacteria. INOQ GmbH developed a bioreactor that can be adapted to each project‘s demands, so that also symbiotic microorganisms can be produced. They can be used for the vitalization of soil life as well as the sanitation of polluted stands. Especially the production of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi is of interest to the producers of such fungi. The INOQ bioreactor offers a strong solution that can be applied worldwide.

The problem:

In a sterile system arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi have to grow in root organ cultures. A cultivation in a bioreactor with stirrer is impossible. The roots would be damaged, thus preventing fungi growth.

Picture left: Inner part of a normal reactor. The stirrer damages the roots as well as mycelia of the fungi. Growth is depressed.

The innovation:

The development of a flexible steal inset. The root cultures are fixed in the steal fabric, the stirrer can work without damage, so that the nutrient uptake of the symbionts is ensured during the cultivation.

Pictures right: After only two weeks of cultivation a root growth was investigated. The propagation of mycorrhiza fungi can be greatly increased with this innovative method.

The Quality:

INOQ products show a great flexibility. We know how important well-considered steps are for our customers. The INOQ Bioreactor meets your high standards.
