General Description Micro-BacTM is a proprietary combination of specially selected, naturally occurring bacteria used to accelerate biodegradation of wastes in municipal wastewater systems, ponds, lagoons, and animal waste collection systems. It is effective on unsaturated fat, oil, starch, protein, and other biologically derived waste. The metabolic processes of Micro-Bac bacteria produce enzymes that break down targeted wastes. Micro-Bac comes as a ready-to-use liquid formulation.
Product Formula Micro-Bac includes multiple strains of facultative bacteria. These bacteria remain active in aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
