December 2010 Your Natural Microbial Service Provider Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness

Bacteria – An age-old practice The idea of using specific bacteria strains beneficially is as old as the ages. Bakers use bacteria, or yeast, to produce the little air bubbles and the sweet taste that is found in bread. Brewers and vintners use of naturally occurring bacteria in beverages.

How Bacterial Degradation Works Applied to industrial uses, it naturally degrades unwanted accumulations. Single Cell Bacteria Secrete Enzymes Attack Molecules of Paraffin, Sludge and Grease Breakdown into smaller molecules – more soluble in water

How Bacterial Degradation Works Because of their minute size, bacteria are very effective at carrying out their functions. To understand this, imagine a fire; a log will burn more easily if it is reduced to chips because more of its surface is exposed to the air and heat. Similarly, bacteria are extremely efficient in their biological actions because their surface area to volume ratio is so high.
