Agriculture

Sustainable agriculture and pest control

Insects are a pest in agriculture and cause significant losses in crop yields and storage. A global need for new and efficient alternatives to chemical pesticides is driving the discovery of new bio pesticides. The oCelloScope is used by many agriculture companies in different BioAg applications.

SporeCount

SporeCount

Bio control agents such as Metharizium, Trichoderma, Coniothyrium, Isaria and Purpureocillium can be counted and quantified using the SporeCount function developed by BioSense Solutions. The SporeCount module is based on machine learning and is developed to count small round spores, normal sized spores or elongated spores. The algorithm can be used for final product enumeration or viability studies. SporeCount is able to count spores in many “dirty” samples or samples with hyphae.  Counts can be performed in solution in microtiter plates or on agar. Mini agar disks (Cat No. USC.69.0013) have been developed by BioSense solutions to image in 12-well plates and significantly save on consumables.

Easy and fast agricultural counts

Using a 96-well plate format you can use the counting algorithms to locate and count spores in wells. Contents can be visualized in software as actual number or concentration (objects/ml) – see red square to the right. A prerequisite for correct number is an even distribution of cells in wells. Distribution can be affected by several parameters such as pipetting and temperature differences of medium and plastic. When counting, it is recommended to use a large scan area (example 80 images = 3,6 mm) for better statistics.

Quantify germination in few easy steps

Prepare and pipette your samples into microtiter wells. Set your desired time intervals in the UniExplorer software and choose which algorithms to use. The results can be displayed in the software and exported to excel. 

A unique feature is to view results as percent. To the right 8 wells are analyzed. Algorithm count non-germinated spores and precise time of germination and proportion germinated in percent can easily be established. 

Engineered microbes and improved yields

The Rhizomicrobiome is contributing to yield and productivity in different ways. Microorganisms can improve soil fertility, texture, nutrient acquisition, and secretion of intra and extracellular molecules and metabolites. The oCelloScope is used to optimize growth of engineered strains, determine morphology adaptations and to look at interactions using a non-invasive technology. 

To the right you see a mixed sample of Trichoderma and Fusarium in co-culture. There is abundance of information in these images which our algorithms are designed to track.  

Tracking of individual cells

In BioAG R&D knowing how spores develop from dormant to isotropic growth has historically been a “black box”. With the new tracking module in UniExplorer you can now track each spore in a population over time. You get to see and quantify development using an array of different parameters. In addition, we present your data in histograms for particle size distribution. 

Tip! When making deeper analysis we recommend to load an existing job to run the analysis on. Being able to see the images when you program your settings greatly improves results. Remember that you are always free to re-analyze any job with any algorithm.    

Testing new antifungals in BioAg

Teams around the world are developing new and green biopesticides to replace the extensive use of chemicals. With the oCelloScope you can test both species and new  substances on pathogenic species. You get analysis and images to support your research. On the right you see a fungal pathogen treated with different concentrations of compound X. Initial increase in curve is settling of spores on the bottom of plates. Dropping of curve means germination of spores and experiment shows effectiveness of compound at different concentrations. 

Tip! If you need a special algorithm for species detection please reach out to our custom development team. 

Fast CFU/ml Assay

BioAg fermentation often get contaminated by unwanted bacteria. With the IntuGrow assay you get to determine CFU/ml in hours instead of days. Use your selective agar with our mini agar disks and our dedicated software will count bacterial growth over time. Method has been validated against EU GMP method and is in routine use at pharmaceutical production sites.
