The National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH) Philippines Representative Dr. Marilyn B. Brown reported on emerging biotech technologies developed from 2015-2018 including: MYKOCAP, a mycovam capsule for soilless fertilizer; probiotics for swine and poultry; Protein Enriched Copra Meal as a protein and soybean substitute; and enhanced nitrogen-fixing inoculant for mungbean. Other developments included natural pesticides HiYeast and MICROMIX; biofertilizers NUTRIO and FERTIGROE; food colorant MONASCUS; and skin care ingredient PHENOFERA. BIOTECH also developed microbial products for phosphate solubil
