Copper-Bind® is a highly concentrated dry blend featuring Thiobacillus denitrificans, a non-pathogenic chemolithotroph, which simultaneously oxidizes hydrogen sulfide to sulfate or elemental sulfur and reduces nitrate to nitrogen gas. Also included are three gram-negative sulfide oxidizing facultative heterotrophs, Starkeya novella and Paracoccus pantotrophus, and three strains of a spore-forming, gram-positive, sulfide oxidizing facultative Bacillus, to extend the performance and application range for this product. Thiobacillus denitrificans and Paracoccus pantotrophus will denitrify even in the presence of oxygen, so that a separate anaerobic tank is not needed when Copper-Bind® is added to the system. All of the strains included in this formula can utilize carbon dioxide as a carbon source, making this product especially useful in systems where the carbon source has been exhausted at the stage denitrification is desired. |

Muck Eater® Primarily reduces lake/pond organic muck and sludge. It also provides some clarification. It is is a dry, synergistic blend of fourteen spore-forming Bacillus strains and eight gram-negative vegetative strains of bacteria. Reformulated for higher count and improved sludge decomposition, Muck Eater® combats problems found in sludge at the bottom of ponds, lakes and rivers, particularly sulfides, mercaptans, ammonia, fatty acids, nitrates and other sources of odor and pollution. Muck Eater® will break the cycle of sludge buildup, fish suffocation, algae crashes, over-growth of weeds and off-flavor. Keeping the pond bottom clean will reduce stress on your valuable crop, allowing them to maintain healthy immune systems and grow strong. |
Clear-up® Primarily provides improved water clarity and algae reduction. It also provides some muck digestion. It is a dry, synergistic blend of natural bacteria specifically designed to discourage disease proliferation in aquatic environments by enhancing immune response of cultured species while eliminating specific pollutants that foster pathogenic Vibrio spp.and other disease causing species. This formula uses a consortium of six gram-positive Bacillus and ten gram-negative vegetative strains to aggressively consume a broad spectrum of pollutants, including surfactants, fats, sugars, starch, and nominal amounts of pesticides and hydrocarbons, while eliminating the formation of hydrogen sulfide. Clear-up® offers enhanced adaptation to cold water and will work equally well in fresh and salt water. It has been proven safe in the field around the world. |
Detritus Eater® Primarily eats vegetative matter such as leaves, and dead vegetation. It also provides reduction in sludge and muck and helps improve water quality. It is a concentrated dry blend of eleven gram-positive. spore-forming Bacillus, five gram-negative ,vegetative bacteria and two strains of cellulose and lignin degrading fungi, specially created to more rapidly degrade falling leaves, grass clippings, and other plant debris which can cause a buildup of organic sediment if not treated. This formula is the ideal product for use within ten to fourteen days following short-term herbicide application. This safe and effective product is formulated to prevent buildup of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, and fatty acids, a common occurrence during cold winter months without treatment |
Nu-Binder is a unique blend of high molecular-weight natural humified peat soil extract and microbes, which eliminates high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and other noxious odors (except mercaptans). In limited applications, Nu-Binder can bind copper, cadmium and other heavy metals. The formula contains twenty-one strains of gram-positive Bacillus, which produce the following enzymes: casease, protease, amylase, lipase, esterase, cellulase, ligninase, gelatinase, sulfide oxidase, urease, ammonia monooxygenase, lecithinase, nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, catalase and oxidase. Between them, these bacteria ferment most sugars, tolerate more acid conditions than most Bacillus and eight of the strains tolerate salt levels above 7%. The all-natural humified soil extract also acts as a biostimulant to further enhance bacterial activity of gram-positive bacteria. Nu-Binder is biodegradable and harmless to humans, pets, livestock, and wildlife, when used as directed. |
