Strict quality control measures ensure our customers receive plenty of viable microbes in a quality product that will work on organic and hydrocarbon contaminants. It also emulsifies hydrocarbon-based compounds, breaking them down into more manageable molecules that the microbes can then more efficiently digest. Our biocatalyst is called Budkicker . It is a microscopic organism - bacteria . Bacillus spores - they are a facultative microbe.
Degradation is much quicker in aerobic conditions.
With other microbes, called vegetative , once water is gone, they die away. Bacillus spores, in all likelihood, are already present in the soils and waterways of wetlands. The indigenous , or existing, microbes are accustomed to existing in the normal wetlands ecosphere, digesting the typical flora and fauna wastes found in such places under normal circumstances. They either die off from the concentration of the contamination or become so reduced in number that it could take years before the surviving populations become large enough and acclimated enough to start effectively remediating the waste. Whether they are oversprayed onto an oil spill or used to clean up a benzene tank, they work synergistically to digest the pollutants effectively and efficiently.
