In addition to progress on its natural wellness business, Tauriga’s Pilus Energy “wastewater to value” subsidiary achieved a milestone by applying its proprietary bacteria to generate electricity from synthetic human urine. Human urine typically is processed in local waste treatment facilities, where it is degraded by a myriad of microorganisms. Two University of Cincinnati Professors, Dr. Daniel Hassett (founding Chief Scientific Officer of Pilus Energy and Tauriga Advisory Board member) and Dr. Dale Schaefer, have designed electrogenic bioreactors (EBRs) that can reproducibly harvest direct current electricity from the metabolism of the 300-400 milligrams of carbon per liter of urine. This was recently accomplished using Tauriga’s/Pilus Energy’s proprietary bacterium, a genetically modified strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common soil inhabitant. Typically, naturally occurring bacterial consortia are inefficient power-generators. However, the genetically modified bacteria were found to generate three times higher power density when compared to wild-type (genetically unmodified) strains. Current research is now focused on new genetic modifications and the introduction of bacterial consortia to increase the power density robustness as well as overall bacterial longevity. Tauriga has initiated discussions with third parties on ways to commercialize this application.
Finally, since the Company’s share price has recently fallen below the threshold level of one penny per share ($0.01), Tauriga recognizes shareholder concerns about the share price despite the Company’s progress. Tauriga would like to confirm that it has been less than 30 days that the share price has closed with a bid of less than a penny per share, and that, even after closing with a bid of less than a penny for more than 30 days, companies on the OTCQB marketplace have a 180 day grace period to close with a bid of at least $.01 for 10 consecutive days to regain compliance and remain on OTCQB. Management is working diligently to continue to build the Company fundamentals.
