MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114372 A) filed by Integral University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, on Nov. 20, 2025, for 'a bioengineered microbial system with metabolite-triggered plant defense for sustainable integrated disease management.'
Inventor(s) include Salman Ahmad; and Usman Sayeed.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed herein is a bioengineered microbial system with metabolite-triggered plant defense for sustainable integrated disease management (100) comprises a multi-strain engineered microbial consortium (102) optimized for synergistic metabolite production in response to pathogen signals, a metabolite synthesis and signaling module (104) generating antibiotics, siderophores, lytic enzymes, and VOCs, a dynamic feedback circuit (106) regulating metabolite release in real time, a biodegradable encapsulation and delivery module (108) ensuring controlled release in soil, rhizosphere, or phyllosphere, and a bio-sensing and monitoring unit (110) detecting microbial and environmental activity. The system further includes a data analytics module (112) using machine learning to predict disease risks and optimize consortium composition, a climate-responsive module (114) for abiotic stress adaptation, a waste-derived culture medium (116) utilizing agro-industrial by-products, an environmental restoration module (118) enhancing soil health, and a metabolite-responsive indicator module (120) providing visual pathogen detection feedback."
