Pluton Biosciences

Pluton Biosciences is a microbial discovery company that uses a proprietary Discovery Platform - high-throughput soil microbiome screening combined with computational analysis - to find naturally occurring microbial consortia for agriculture and carbon sequestration. Its lead product is a Biological Nitrogen System: photosynthetic microbial consortia that operate at the soil surface to fix atmospheric nitrogen and mobilize phosphorus. Pluton is a research-and-product company, not an API company; it has no public developer portal. Partnership and licensing inquiries are handled directly.

Pluton Biosciences publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Agriculture, AgTech, Biotech, Microbials, and Soil Carbon.
