Our Flagship Biological

Meet Cyanoboost.

A living biological platform for regenerative agriculture.

Cyanoboost is EcoCyan's cyanobacteria-based biofertilizer platform developed from agricultural microbiology research and designed for conditions where biological resilience matters.

Its scientific foundation is centered around nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria and the biological interactions between microorganisms, plants and soil.

The Science Behind EcoCyan

Born from research.Built for agriculture.

At the core of EcoCyan's research is Nostoc sp. strain NoHu — a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium isolated from Egyptian arid soil at Sekem Farm in Belbis.

The research also investigated naturally associated heterotrophic bacteria and their plant-growth-promoting activities.

How the Biology Connects

From sunlight to living soil.

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms. EcoCyan studies how their biology and their interaction with plant-associated microorganisms can support more resilient agricultural systems.

  1. Step 01

    Sunlight

    Photosynthetic microorganisms capture light energy.

  2. Step 02

    Cyanobacteria

    Living microorganisms grow within the agricultural biological system.

  3. Step 03

    Plant–Microbe Interaction

    Biological interactions take place around plant roots and the rhizosphere.

  4. Step 04

    Living Soil

    The system supports a richer biological environment around the plant.

From Lab to Field

Evidence in chamomile.

EcoCyan's research program has evaluated Cyanoboost-related biology under field conditions, including work with chamomile.

In the presented chamomile study, the Cyanoboost treatment demonstrated significant differences across multiple biological and crop-quality indicators.

Root Development
Significantly increased root weight and root length in the referenced trial.
Essential Oil
The Cyanoboost treatment recorded the highest quantity and quality of extracted essential oil in the presented study.
Rhizosphere
The Cyanoboost treatment recorded the highest diversity of rhizospheric microbial communities in the presented trial.

Carbon and biological systems

Photosynthesisas agricultural technology.

Cyanobacteria naturally use photosynthesis to capture carbon while producing biological biomass.

EcoCyan is exploring how this capability can become part of regenerative agricultural systems and future farmer-linked environmental value models.

Recognition

Recognized for regenerative innovation.

In 2024, Cyanoboost was recognized as a winner in the Regenerative Agriculture Venture Program, supporting research-based innovation in regenerative agriculture.
