Bacterial extracellular vesicles as a delivery platform
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) are nano-sized particles naturally released by bacteria.
These vesicles act as highly efficient delivery systems, transporting proteins, metabolites, lipids, and nucleic acids.
At EVerse, we engineer and harness bEVs as programmable biological carriers that deliver functional molecules directly to plants, insects, and microbial pathogens.
Key Features:
-
Natural and biocompatible nano-carriers;
-
Protection and stabilization of sensitive cargo;
-
Efficient delivery across biological barriers;
-
Scalable production through microbial fermentation;
-
Reduced environmental impact compared to chemical inputs.
