Enzymes are protein-like substances formed in plant and animal cells that act as an organic catalyst in chemical reactions. Bacteria on their own do not have the ability to break down solids. The food particles are too large to consume as a whole. When food is present, a bacteria is stimulated to send out enzymes to break the food particles down. Therefore, by introducing additional bacteria and enzymes, you speed up the digestion process.
Bacteria are now able to consume the small food particles.
The bacteria will reproduce at a faster rate, thereby producing more enzymes. The bacteria then duplicate themselves, which doubles the amount of enzymes at work. Under ideal conditions, this duplication happens every 20 minutes. Once the system has been treated with Under Control, follow normal dilutions on the label. It may take 2-3 applications to remove formaldehydes or benzenes.
