Integrated Environmental Technologies Reports Efficacy of Ecaflo Anolyte Solutions on Botrytis Fungus That Plagues the Wine Industry
Wednesday March 23, 9:00 am ET
LITTLE RIVER, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2005--Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (OTCBB: IEVM - News) of Little River, South Carolina, in conjunction with its research partners at Coastal Carolina University, today announces the conclusion of research on isolated pure cultures of the Botrytis fungus, acquired from a vineyard in Sonoma County, California. The efficacy of anolyte solutions on the Botrytis fungus was proven in controlled lab experiments at Coastal Carolina University.
Dr. Valgene Dunham, Professor of Biology at CCU and a director of IEVM, stated, "Incubation of the fungus in sterile culture in the presence of anolyte solution at concentrations of 40 ppm FAC destroyed the fungus." In addition it was reported, "There was no growth of the fungus on agar plates or in nutrient broth following treatment with IET's anolyte at concentrations of 40 ppm FAC and higher." These positive results are being distributed throughout the wine industry, which is a primary target market for IEVM's EcaFlo(TM) equipment.
Mr. "Bill" Prince, IEVM President and CEO, concluded, "This development continues to move the company's anolyte-producing EcaFlo(TM) devices into environmentally-safe fungus control applications for the wine industry."
