American Biotec
History
In 2006, Engineer Marco Michel joined the newly created AMERICAN BIOTEC with the main objective of developing a complete line of Biopesticides of microbiological origin.
It is worth mentioning that until that moment (2006) Mr. Michel already had a background of more than 10 years of experience working in agro-export companies and universities at a national and international level, in addition to standing out as a teacher in the area of Biological Control.
Already in AMERICAN BIOTEC and thanks to hard work and exclusive dedication to the project; the production lines of beneficial mushrooms were growing and gaining ground in the national and international market, and from the year 2010 exports to the international market began, the same year that the formulation of beneficial bacteria began.
Later, in 2018, the formulation of microorganisms for bioremediation began, among which are mycorrhizae and phosphorus and nitrogen solubilizing bacteria, among others.
In 2020, the formulation of products for bioremediation, probiotics and symbiotics in the aquaculture area began.
AMERICAN BIOTEC currently has more than 20 permanent employees, having started with only 2 (Eng. Michel and an assistant), with clients in demanding markets such as the USA, Central America and the Caribbean, Europe and Brazil.
AMERICAN BIOTEC has biopesticide production lines for agriculture, livestock and aquaculture.
Mission
AMERICAN BIOTEC is a company committed to making a sustainable world for the benefit of food consumers, customers of our biological products and social responsibility with the community and our employees.
Vision
Evolves to be an internationally recognized company providing sustainable products for agriculture, livestock and aquaculture.

Description:
The mixture of Beauveria bassiana + Metarhizium anisopliae is a powerful ally in the fight against insect pests in crops, since both have a high range of specificity. These microorganisms can enter by contact through a process of infection in the cuticle of the insect, this infective process includes the adhesion of the spores to the cuticle, the penetration of the cuticle by a germinative tube, the growth of the fungus inside the body of the insect and finally the production of new spores and their dispersal; the death of the insect occurs due to mechanical damage caused by the internal growth of the fungus mycelium or by the action of toxins. Both fungi are facultative pathogens, that is, they are capable of surviving at the expense of soil organic matter or other substrate, as long as there are no insects available to infect.

Bacillus megaterium is a bacterium recognized as an endophyte and is a potential agent for the biological control of plant diseases. Nitrogen fixation has been shown, it also activates photosynthetic routes, increasing vegetative development and intervenes in the transport of sugars. It also improves the absorption of nutrients and activates the development of roots and tubers. Among other characteristics, it is mentioned that they are metabolizers of soil organic matter, producers of extra-cellular enzymes and phytohormones. Its activity promotes the absorption of phosphorus and prevents nutritional imbalances through a coordinated absorption of macronutrients (phosphorus and sulfur) and micronutrients (iron and zinc) by the plant.
