Effective Microorganisms » An overview of how they work

The main property of Multikraft products, which have been used in practical applications for more than 20 years and constantly developed, is to suppress rotting and the resulting toxic metabolites and to support regenerative processes.

Fermentation – the foundation of our products

Fermentation is a biotechnological process that describes the breakdown and conversion of organic substances with the help of bacteria, fungi or cell cultures.

People have been using fermentation processes for millennia, mainly to conserve and improve foods. The making of bread, dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, alcohol and sauerkraut would not be possible without fermentation caused by bacterial or fungal cultures.

In biotechnology, both anaerobic and aerobic metabolic processes are referred to as fermentation. This means that many organic acids (lactic, amino and fatty acids), but also solvents, such as acetone, and detergent enzymes and vitamins can be produced using fermentation.

Fermentation processes form the basis for the manufacture of our products. By fermenting different materials such as sugar cane molasses, herbs and plant extracts, we produce enzymes, vitamins and antioxidants in our Multikraft products that stimulate regenerative processes, support the health of plants, animals and people and have a positive impact on the environment.

The antioxidation principle

In contrast to oxidation, which allows free radicals to be produced that can harm the environment, antioxidation prevents substances from forming compounds with oxygen by producing electrons and can even break down these compounds.

Effective Microorganisms produce large quantities of antioxidants. These consist primarily of polysaccharides, minerals in chelate form with catalytic activity and small quantities of vitamins C and E and trace elements.

The dominance principle of Effective Microorganisms

There are three main types of microorganisms, which we will describe here briefly.

Constructive, regenerative and fermentative microorganisms

Effective Microorganisms fall into the category of regenerative microorganisms. They can prevent rotting in all substances both directly and indirectly and therefore maintain the health of living creatures and the environment.

Degradative, degenerative and rot-forming microorganisms

Degenerative microorganisms behave in exactly the opposite way to regenerative microorganisms.

Neutral and opportunistic microorganisms

Neutral microorganisms form the largest group and follow the group that is dominant in a system in accordance with the so-called dominance principle.

This means that when we create an environment where regenerative microorganisms are dominant, the neutral microorganisms follow the regeneration process and degradative and rot-forming processes are suppressed. Therefore, the use of Effective Microorganisms opens up completely new dimensions in many areas of life.

The composition of Effective Microorganisms

Effective Microorganisms are mixed cultures of microbes consisting primarily of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and photosynthesis bacteria. Many of the microorganisms in these cultures are used to produce and extend the shelf life of foods and are beneficial for plants, people, animals and the environment.

Lactic acid bacteria

Under anaerobic conditions, lactic acid bacteria promote the rapid decomposition of organic material and produce lactic acid in fermentation processes. This has a preserving effect. It creates an environment where pathogens cannot develop and also forms enzymes and other valuable substances such as antioxidants and vitamins. These have a positive effect on the health of plants, animals and people.

Yeasts

Yeasts are single-celled fungi that are able to perform two different types of metabolic processes: fermentation and respiration. In the presence of oxygen, carbon compounds are broken down and carbon dioxide is produced, whereas in anaerobic conditions, carbohydrates are fermented to form alcohol. Yeasts have been used by people for millennia to make bread and alcohol. In Effective Microorganisms, they maintain the balance of the mixed culture of microbes and form an important supply of energy for other microorganisms.

Photosynthesis bacteria

Photosynthesis bacteria are among the earliest organisms to colonise the Earth. They come from an era in the Earth’s history when conditions were hostile to life. At the time, the atmosphere contained ammonia, hydrogen sulphide and other harmful compounds. In order to survive, the bacteria developed the ability to neutralise toxins with the help of enzymes and to break down the metabolites from rotting processes and convert them into regenerative substances.

The interaction of all the cultures in Effective Microorganisms allows degenerative processes such as rotting to be transformed into positive, constructive and life-enhancing processes.
