What Liventia does
Liventia, operating as a DBA of Micro-Tes, Inc. (a Texas corporation founded circa 1997), is a small private biotechnology company that develops and sells biological products based on proprietary consortia of acclimated, naturally-occurring beneficial microorganisms. Its core technology consists of unique blends of 10–13 species of bacteria (including acinetobacter, pseudomonas, citrobacter, bacillus, brevibacillus, enterobacter and stenotrophomonas lineages) adapted to thrive in hostile environments, formulated into aqueous or emulsion products sometimes combined with additives such as mycorrhizae or citrus essential oils. The portfolio spans twelve trademarked products (SOS®, Soil Pro, SSB®, LWT-1®, AWT™, BS-BL™, PWC™, LFS-1™, Paragone™, MicroClean™, WWT™, GWT™) organized across five end-verticals: agriculture biostimulants, aquaculture/aquariums, bioremediation, oil & gas, and industrial cleaning.
The company monetizes through direct product sales of these biological inputs, with no disclosed pricing model or subscription element — revenue is generated per unit sold. Its go-to-market is channel-led: products reach US end-users via a network of regional distributors and ag-consulting partners (Biosafe Systems in the Northeast, Bear River Supply and Conservative Ag Consulting in California, KBW Supply in Texas, Cinquini Farms in Northern California), supported by in-house technical support staff. The firm operates from two physical offices — its San Antonio, Texas headquarters and a Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico office — serving the US and Mexican markets. No enterprise customers, certifications, regulatory registrations, or named management are disclosed in the source material, and no financial figures are publicly available.

Liventia product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Liventia develops, manufactures, and sells biological products built on proprietary blends of acclimated, naturally-occurring beneficial microorganisms. Its offerings address five application areas: agricultural soil/plant biostimulants, aquaculture and aquarium water treatment, environmental bioremediation, oil & gas hydrocarbon treatment, and industrial cleaning/wastewater management, sold primarily through regional distributors in the United States.
Product overview
Liventia is a biotechnology company offering a portfolio of biological solutions based on unique blends of acclimated, naturally-occurring, beneficial microorganisms. The company's products span five main segments: Agriculture (SOS® Biostimulant, Soil Pro Biostimulant, SSB® Biostimulant, LWT-1®), Aquaculture & Aquariums (AWT™, BS-BL™, PWC™), Bioremediation (LFS-1™), Oil & Gas (Paragone™, MicroClean™), and Industrial Cleaning (WWT™, GWT™). These solutions are designed to improve crop yield and ROI, remediate water and soil, clean industrial equipment, and degrade hydrocarbons and organic waste through natural microbial processes rather than chemical treatments.

Direct peers
- Indigo Ag: Indigo Ag commercializes microbe-based seed treatments and foliar products for crop health, overlapping with Liventia's biostimulant portfolio and shared emphasis on microbial consortia for agriculture.
- Pivot Bio: Pivot Bio develops microbial nitrogen-fixing products for major row crops, directly competing with Liventia's agricultural biostimulant offerings by targeting improved nutrient uptake and reduced synthetic fertilizer use among similar grower customers.
- Marrone Bio Innovations: Marrone Bio (now part of Bioceres Crop Solutions) develops biopesticides and plant health products from microorganisms, directly competing with Liventia in agricultural biologicals and adjacent bioremediation applications.
- BioSafe Systems: BioSafe Systems manufactures biological crop protection, water treatment, and turf products using microbial and biochemical approaches; it both distributes Liventia products in the Northeast and competes in overlapping biological input categories.
- Symborg: Symborg produces microbial solutions for agriculture including biostimulants and biocontrol products, making it a direct competitor to Liventia in agricultural biologicals and a similarly Spanish-speaking-market-oriented player.
Emerging players
- AgBiome: AgBiome discovers and develops microbial crop protection and plant health products, partially overlapping with Liventia's biostimulant franchise while focusing primarily on biocontrol rather than nutrient uptake efficiency.
