OmniLytics Obtains Landmark EPA Registration for Bacteriophage Usage

Revolutionary AgriPhage™ products approved for use on tomato and pepper crops.

Salt Lake City — (February 15, 2006) OmniLytics, Inc., a biotech company focused on developing safe and natural solutions for infectious disease and pest control, today announced final EPA registration for its’ AgriPhage bacteria-control product line.

"We are excited to be the first company to ever receive a commercial registration from a regulatory agency in the United States for a phage-based product", stated Justin Reber, OmniLytics’ President and CEO. "For the first time, commercial vegetable growers have a safe and effective bacteria-control alternative to antibiotics and harsh chemicals. This is a great advantage for growers, and it significantly strengthens our position in the phage-based solutions market."

The revolutionary AgriPhage products can be used in the greenhouse and the field, and can be applied as a preventive or as a curative. AgriPhage is formulated based on grower’s plant samples, and can be modified to address any changes or mutations in the bacteria. This overcomes any potential for bacterial resistance. AgriPhage not only provides superior bacterial control, its also completely safe, natural and bio-degradable.

Dr. Jeff Jones, respected industry expert and plant pathologist at the University of Florida stated, "We conclusively demonstrated in greenhouse and field tests that applications of AgriPhage outperformed the standard bactericides in controlling bacterial spot of tomato and furthermore resulted in significantly greater fruit yields than the untreated control and the copper-treated plants."

Additionally, Carl Bergschneider of Plants of Ruskin greenhouses stated, “From the time we started using AgriPhage, we saw a complete turn around in bacterial control. I am completely convinced that the proper use of Agriphage, will control the spread of bacterial disease in overhead irrigated greenhouse crops.”

OmniLytics’ patented technology and proprietary processes, combined with over 50 years of lab research and nearly a decade of experience in fields and greenhouses, positions them as the leader in natural, phage-based products for use in all agricultural markets. This same advantage can be applied to control of bacterial microorganisms in other markets, such as Food & Water Safety, Industrial, Pharmaceutical and Defense.

AgriPhage is available immediately as a natural solution for growers’ bacterial problems and provides a highly effective, crucial alternative that manifests none of the harmful side effects of copper and antibiotics.
