Pluton extracts natural resources from the earth. But the resource we seek is not oil or gas, gold or silver, or even copper or nickel. Our targeted discovery platform "mines" microbes from the soil - the bacteria, fungi and viruses that live in and all around us. We call our platform Micromining.
Through Micromining, Pluton quickly and inexpensively discovers microbial leads for manufacturers of next-generation biosolutions, including biopesticides and antibiotics.
Pluton's founders are committed to using our Micromining platform to solve global problems. Us "Plutonites" aspire to discover a sustainable tomorrow today!
