Microbe-PLUS organisms are grown aerobically by submerged fermentation under aseptic conditions to prevent the contamination with ineffective or pathogenic organisms which routinely occurs in non sterile, semisolid production of microbial cultures on bran.
In the Microbe-PLUS process, stainless steel vessels containing the growth medium are sterilized with flowing steam under pressure. The organisms are transferred aseptically from pure stock cultures to fermentation vessels.
Microbe-PLUS technology assures that adventitious or pathogenic organisms are neither present or grown in the production of Microbe-PLUS.
Potency
Because Microbe-PLUS
fermentation takes place under rigidly controlled conditions, high potency
counts are obtained routinely batch to batch.�
Our counts represent
100% effective organisms since other organisms do not enter the growth
process by accident.
Origin of Microorganism
The microorganism
in Microbe-PLUS is not foreign to the ordinary natural environment
as it occurs commonly in soil and water. This means that the organism is:
- 1. Not introducing into nature any genetically-engineered elements whose impact would be unknown and therefore potentially hazardous and
- 2. Viable in soil and water within the use specifications.
Environmental
Impact
Neither Microbe-PLUS
nor
the organisms in Microbe-PLUS are toxic agents.
When Microbe-PLUS
bacteria
are added to a contaminated environment the original toxicity of the environment
remains unchanged, but as the Microbe-PLUS organisms grow, the original
concentration of organic substances in the environment is reduced.
Treatment of organic
compounds with Microbe-PLUS produces only carbon dioxide and water
plus bacteria.
Pathogenicity
The bacteria in
Microbe-PLUS
are not a threat to human health. The organism has been used for 50
years in the baking industry to deglutinize flour. These products are screened
to assure that no adventitious pathogens are present.
Microbe-PLUS
is certified free of Salmonella� and E. coli.�
