Why Archaea is
important
Consider the following biological systems
- Natural biological
systems
- Man affected
biological systems
- Archaea bio systems
Natural bio systemsHave been around since the beginning of life on earth and comprise of a variety of micro-organisms. They have a number of basic characteristics;
- Exist in a state of
nutrient limitation; poverty and starvation are the rule.
- Typically they exhibit
slow growth.
- They are unchanging
and in balance with their environment.
- Totally breakdown and
utilize waste from higher organisms.
- Recent research suggests that most contain Archaea.
Man has been around for a relatively short period of biological time but has managed to make severe impacts on bio systems. Man affected bio systems generally have the following characteristics;
- They have excessive
nutrients concentrations.
- They are under stress,
which affects the functioning of the microbial population.
- Highly variable and
hence unstable.
- They contain few Archaea.
Archaea bio logical process produced by Archaea Solutions Inc address many of the problems arising in man-affected bio systems;
- They continuously
introduce Archaea.
- They can tolerate a
wide range of environments.
- Consume inhibitory
metabolites produced by bacteria under stress.
- Can utilize a simple
stepwise mechanism for breaking down organic compounds.
- They can consume inorganic substrates under certain conditions.
