(TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC) (OTCQB: MNXXF) (\"Manganese X\", \"MN\", the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Disruptive Battery Corp. (DBC), in conjunction with its US Joint Venture Partner, PureBiotic AIR, Corp (PureBiotic), has received additional positive results from its ongoing long-term research study conducted by Virginia State University (VSU). This has been despite the delays caused by the COVID-19 restrictions which have been affecting most university campuses and research facilities. It should be noted that after receiving additional positive results the Company will soon be announcing a series of registrations, certifications and regulatory product applications of significant interest.Martin Kepman, CEO, comments: \"We continue to evolve our misting solution for the mitigation of pathogens including COVID-19. Research is showing positive efficacy. We are now moving towards making additional certifications including applying for FDA approval.\"In the VSU's latest round of testing, the priority was documenting the risk reduction on an important range of pathogens and biofilm, including COVID-19, utilizing the PureBiotic Mist Solution on surfaces, in addition to air. The VSU researchers have produced effective and encouraging results on the PureBiotics Solution's effect on biofilm. This is important to note since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has rated biofilm, where pathogens like COVID-19 and other pathogens are found, to be responsible for some 80% of all infections. Biofilm provides a protective environment for pathogens from disinfectants and antibiotics. The deconstruction of biofilm removes the \"protective home\" and therefore helps protect against COVID-19 and other contaminants. Also of importance, the University laboratory was able to recently produce growths of different types of biofilms required for testing of the PureBiotic AIR HVAC Delivery System for the mitigation of other types of infection risks, such as COVID-19. This testing showed that the PureBiotic Mist can be effective in helping to de...
