The platform parent
Owns the technology (the microbe library, Precision Photosynthesis®, Magellan™ and the Foundry) and runs discovery and development. Each target hit adds a product line and strengthens the platform behind the next one.
We don't need to build every downstream business to capture the value of a discovery
Make it ourselves
High-margin products where our own production is the advantage. Sold direct to formulators and manufacturers.
Spin out a company
Large opportunities that warrant a dedicated commercial business with its own brand, market and team. Proteus Ag is the first.
Partner with a major
Markets where majors already own the regulatory and commercial infrastructure. We discover, validate and protect the biology, then license the lead.
Proteus Ag
Methane reduction for ruminant livestock · Surf'N'Turf®
The platform's first commercialised product, now its own company. A dry feed supplement based on seaweed science — a naturally-derived digestive aid at 0.1% of the ration, room-temperature stable, shipping in two formats: a granular blend for mixed rations and a concentrate for lick blocks and mineral supplements. Proven from rumen assays through five completed pilots across 3,000 animals, with three more starting across 6,000, and it pays back at the farm gate. Three years from problem selection to product.
Astaxanthin
Food, beverage & nutraceutical · natural astaxanthin oleoresin
A highly potent natural oleoresin that outperforms anything currently on the market. Discovered and scaled on the platform under Precision Photosynthesis®.

Crop protection & biostimulants
A crop-protection programme in stealth. Where majors already own the regulatory and commercial infrastructure, the platform discovers and validates new biology, protects the intellectual property and licenses the lead. More to come.
