Guy at the hydro store was a little hesitant to recommend it due to the "E coli," but once we went over the manufacturing scheme for recombinant proteins he was more comfortable with it.

I hope more bioreactor products are on the way for plants.

Here's a factsheet on the harpin (alpha/beta)

Ya, sometimes you have to school these hydro store guys on the products they sell.
It seems a normal fearful reaction when someone hears "E coli" although most E Coli strains are not human pathogens. E. coli K-12 is not.

RXGreen is a rather new company on the scene, it seems obvious that they entered into an agreement with Plant Health Care to repackage and distribute their harpin protein technology to the growing indoor and outdoor gardening market since PHC is the sole provider of harpins technology.
