  2. Bio One Sciences Projects • Beach at Home: Cosmetic used in skin tone applications (natural product) – launched 1998 • Zebra Fish for Medical Device Toxicology Screening • Translation to commercial through Microtest • Biofilm Reduction in Pharma Water System • Bio-1067 is a quorum sensing disrupter that reduces “persister organisms” by inactivating quorum sensing molecules (acyl-HSL) homoserine lactone. • Translation to commercial: Manufacture and distribution of Biofilm treatment products • Biofilm organisms communicate instability in the colony, an epigenetic gene pathway is activated that induces persister organisms. Biofilm destruction is difficult with quorum sensing conserved.

  3. Solutions • Scope: Biofilm produced by planktonic organisms are fouling biopharm/pharma water systems causing millions of dollars of cleaning and down time • Current Problem: Manufacturer’s use enzyme cleaning, bleach, NaOH and other chemicals to treat biofilm. Manufacturing down time equates to 100 of millions in lost revenue per year. • Solutions: Investigate compounds that will deregulate the persister pathway. Therefore, allowing the chemical treatment to destroy the biofilm. • Bio One Compound BIO-1017 is designed to disrupt quorum sensing molecules required to induce persister organism state.
