Plant bioengineering & biomanufacturing
Engineered by science.
Built by nature.
Edible drugs for animals and humans, made in spirulina.
A multi-trait genetic platform, a biomanufacturing chassis, and a lead product for the pollination crisis.
The pollination crisis
Modern agriculture depends on bees.
Hive losses are catastrophic.
Modern beekeepers absorb the cost of colony collapse without effective tools to prevent it.
The available toolkit — feed supplements, miticides, and chemical antibiotics — is reactive, coarse, and increasingly ineffective.
Phenova was built to change that.
The Weave platform
Multi-trait biomanufacturing,
delivered in spirulina.
Phenova combines four genetic technologies into a single, programmable transformation platform — and pairs it with a spirulina chassis (Arthrospira platensis) that's edible, GRAS-certified, and built for low-cost scale-up.

Lead product · ApiShield
From bees to biologics.
A spirulina-based feed additive that suppresses Deformed Wing Virus and other RNA pathogens in honeybees through orally-delivered, multi-trait expressed therapeutics. No injection. No veterinary intervention.
Spirulina — an edible, photosynthetic microorganism with human food GRAS status, rapid scale-up, and contamination-resistant cultivation. Decades of algae-biofuel techno-economics inform our production model.
Bees consume biomass; expressed therapeutic payloads target viral and mite pathogens at the colony level.
Syrup and solid feed-cake formulations, designed for drop-in compatibility with standard apiary feeding practices.
