BasidioBoost

plant diagonal : 100µm

Fungal Endophyte

Plant Root

BasidioBoost is the next-generation microbial solution designed to significantly boost plant health and root development through advanced endophytic fungal hyphae. BasidioBoost enhance phosphorus uptake leads to increased nodule formation in soybeans (dicots) and greater biomass and yield production in wheat (monocots).

BasidioBoost fungal strains represent a 4th generation advancement in bio fertility, offering improved P assimilation. BasidioBoost could be applied with high concentration of several phosphorus fertilizer including MAP, DAP, SSP and TSP.

What makes it revolutionary?

Traditional microbes often fall short when exposed to modern agricultural conditions like chemical fertilizers or limited nutrient availability. BioSam’s proprietary endophytic fungi—BasidioBoost.1 and BasidioBoost.2—are engineered by nature and optimized by science to thrive in real-world soil conditions, mobilizing phosphorus where it matters most: in the root zone.

The Science in Action

When applied to crops, our fungi colonize plant roots quickly and efficiently. This active colonization triggers two powerful outcomes: Soybeans (dicots): show increased nodule formation, a strong biological signal of enhanced nitrogen fixation, resulting in healthier, more productive plants. Wheat (monocots) : displays significant biomass gain, a direct reflection of improved phosphorus availability and overall growth acceleration. Compared to mock-inoculated controls, the difference is clear, consistent, and quantifiable—with enhanced nutrient uptake translating into robust above-ground growth and stronger yields.

Why does it matter

In a world striving for sustainability, the ability to naturally boost productivity without synthetic overload is a game-changer. BioSam’s solution works with the plant, for the soil, and toward a healthier planet.

This figure shows that BasidioBoost, a microbial biofertilizer by BioSam, leads to lower nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions than conventional strip-till fertilization. The graph tracks daily N₂O flux over time, with BasidioBoost (blue line) showing significantly reduced peaks compared to the conventional method (green line). The photo depicts the field measurement setup used in collaboration with Area X.O., Ottawa, Canada. These results demonstrate BasidioBoost’s effectiveness in reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.

This image summarizes the positive effects of the BasidioBoost treatment on key wheat yield parameters, evaluated under semi-field conditions. The table quantifies the impact of the treatment, comparing results with and without the presence of T. versicolor fungus under both phosphorus-deprived (C0) and phosphorus-rich (CP) conditions. Measured parameters include tillers per plant, ears per plant, straw yield, grain yield, and barn yield (g/plant). The presented values are means calculated from four replicate pots, each containing eight plants. Highlighted cells in the table indicate statistically significant improvements or key results associated with the BasidioBoost treatment.

BasidioBoost N-Fix

BasidioBoost N-Fix adds 33% more growth to the fungus

Fungal Endophyte

Bacteria

BasidioBoost N-Fix is the next-generation microbial solution designed to significantly boost monocot health and root development through the synergistic action of a fungal endophyte and an endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium. BasidioBoost N-Fix delivers significant improvements in both phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) content.

improved root colonization pattern

BasidioBoost N-Fix leverages a consortium of beneficial bacteria to forge a more resilient symbiotic relationship with plants in the tri-partite system

Optimized Fungal-Root Symbiosis

The bacteria in BasidioBoost N-Fix enhance the nutrient access for the endophytic fungus, reinforcing its association with plant roots, while the fungus, in turn, fosters conditions that promote greater delivery of bacterial cells to the root system.

Reduction of P and N Chemical Fertilizers

BasidioBoost N-Fix supplies both phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) to monocots, thereby decreasing the need for chemical phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers.

Root Colonization Pattern

BasidioBoost N-Fix demonstrates a more than 33% improvement in plant root development compared to BasidioBoost.

This chart showcases the significant advancement represented by BasidioBoost, a newly developed consortium combining an atmospheric nitrogen-fixing bacterium with an endophytic fungus. The presented experimental data on wheat, a key monocot crop, clearly illustrates the synergistic benefits of this dual inoculation. Plants treated with the complete BasidioBoost N-Fix as consortium (F+B) exhibit substantially increased root and shoot dry weight compared to control plants (M) or those inoculated with the fungus (F) or bacterium (B) alone. This breakthrough addresses the long- standing challenge of limited symbiotic nitrogen fixation in non-leguminous crops, paving the way for reduced reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and promoting more sustainable agricultural practices for monocot cultivation. The visualized fungal hyphae within the wheat root further underscore the close biological interaction facilitated by BasidioBoost.
