PROBIOTICS AS A TOOL FOR BIOREMEDIATION
​

Bioremediation uses naturally occurring  benign bacterial species to control the accumulation of organic matter.   Via the production of enzymes these bacteria degrade accumulated organic matter which in turn changes the nutrient composition and thus their availability in the environment.   This can have a wide range of positive  impacts.  Proper bioremediation of pond ecosystems is a critical component of sustainable aquaculture.  
​Our team has been working with bioremediation tools for more than three decades with the earliest field trails in farmed catfish going back to the mid 1990's. We were the first company to patent the use of bacteria for the purpose of improving water quality in ponds containing catfish.  
​
​Our bioremediation products have been reported by clients to result in:   
  • Cleaner pond bottoms
  • Reduced blue green algae loads  (via competition for nutrients-these products are not algaecides)
  • Less water exchange needed (savings in pumping costs)
  • Reduced green vibrio counts  (on TCBS, the vibrio associated with AHPNS produces green colonies)
  • Reduced overall vibrio loads (the Bacillus in our products compete against the vibrios for nutrients) 
  • Reduced ammonia levels  (broken down by the bacteria in our products)
  • Reduced disease outbreaks (a result of a change in the microbial flora)
  • Better feed efficiency (a result of a cleaner environment)
  • Healthier shrimp
  • Increased profits​
Untreated pond in Ecuador
​Notice the two poles.
Same pond after 1 cycle of PRO4000X tablets!
​Notice the two poles. These are the same two poles as pictured on the left.
