PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS:

A dry, granular fermentation product containing:

Facultative, spore-forming bacteria and vegetative bacterial forms, which are of the type to produce high quantities of organic catalysts.These bacteria are capable of growing under aerobic and anaerobic (fermentative) conditions. They respond to organic waste with rapid germination and rates of growth. They are able to adhere to artificial and natural media for rapid establishment of biofilms in biological treatment facilities.

Extracellular enzyme production. These bacteria have the potential for the production of high concentrations of organic catalysts which accelerate the degradation of many types of organic polymers, such as proteins, fats, and plant carbohydrates as well as certain other solid material,

Multiple strains for broad variety of spectrum of activity Products that contain multiple strains of microorganisms have a better opportunity in helping to liquefy and degrade organic materials.
