The growing bacteria will then start to produce and use their own <br /> enzymes, thus keeping the cycle going. <br /> The following types of enzymes are incorporated in. digestant <br /> products : <br /> Lipase -breaks down fats and greases <br /> Protease --breaks down proteins <br /> Cellulase -breaks down cellulose <br /> Amylase -Breaks down carbohydrates and starches <br /> Enzymes are specific, so that'' one type of enzyme .can work on <br /> only one type of molecule. Thus,: protease enzyme will break down <br /> complex proteins into simpler pieces, but will have no effect on <br /> fats or greases . Likewise, 1ipas'e. will attack' .animal fats and <br /> grease, but will not work oft,paper '.or wood fibers (cellulose.) , . ' . <br /> Essential Nutrients i <br /> Special nutrients areadded' to supply' the vitamins and. <br /> minerals required for the greatest possible 'growth and activity of I, <br /> the bacteria. These vitamins and Minerals may not be . present in <br /> the waste, and a lack of any .one` of, them may seriously inhibit the <br /> growth or reproduction. They must" be added to the digestant <br /> product to assure the fastest, most efficient waste :digestion. <br /> Typical Assay For Bacteria Coufit, .Enzymes, and Nutrients <br /> Bacteria Count <br /> Aerobic bacteria 10 billion colonies/gram minimum ? <br /> Anaerobic bacteria 10 ,billion colonies/gram minimum <br /> Enzyme Content <br /> Amylase, cellulase, lipase, and protease, ' plus others . <br /> Microbial Nutrients <br /> Vitamins : Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pyridozi.ne, <br /> choline, betaine, and folic acid. <br /> Minerals : Calcium, phosphorus, potassium; iron, <br /> copper, zinc,- -manganese, and cobalt. <br /> Amino Acids : Arginine, `lysine; tryptophan, cyctine <br /> histidine, . tyrosine, phenylalanine, <br /> leucine, .valine, and glycine. ' <br /> Summary <br /> What we are doing is giving Mother Nature a 'big assist by, <br /> adding massive doses of enzymesand bacteria. If left alone, <br /> Nature would cure the problem in 50. to 100 years . We do not have <br /> that kind of time to wait. we. carr cure: the problem in 60 days,. so <br /> why not do .so? 4 <br />
