About RhizeUP

RhizeUP specializes in using Rhizobium bacteria to enhance plant growth and curb algal blooms.

Through directed evolution and the symbiotic relationship between Rhizobium and plants, we aim to successfully solubilize inorganic phosphate and fix nitrogen, resulting in healthier plants and a cleaner environment.

Our Journey

Company History

RhizeUP originated as an iGEM 2023 project that won a Gold Medal and was nominated for the Sustainable Development Award. The company is a direct spin-off from that success, building on the project’s mission to tackle agricultural nutrient runoff through innovative synthetic biology solutions.
