Microbes

What Are Microbes?

Microbes are tiny living things that are found all around us and are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They live in water, soil, and in the air. By scientifically identifying and isolating bacteria that specialize in digesting organic material, microbial suppliers are able to provide extremely high concentrations of beneficial microbes that utilize organic material as fuel and rapidly assimilate that food source. Under the correct conditions, utilizing microbes for wastewater (bioaugmentation) can reduce the target material in hours or days, rather than in months or years.
