The Role of Bacillus, You Didn't Even Know!

Bacillus is often used in aquaculture, a kind of beneficial bacteria, in the treatment of water quality problems and it also has a role that can not be ignored.

1. Regulate the water quality

Bacillus has a strong ability to decompose organic matter, can decompose large molecules into usable small molecules, will release highly active decomposition enzymes, decompose suspended substances in water and sediment, reduce the organic oxygen consumption substances in water, prevent water quality deterioration.

2. Nitrogen, sulfur removal function

Excessive N and P discharge into the water body causes pond eutrophication, forming ammonia nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide toxic to fish in the pond, resulting in the death of aquatic animals. While bacillus utilizes abundant enzymes to decompose nitrogen and sulfur pollutants and purify water environment.

3. Change the bottom and decompose the bottom mud

Bacillus can decompose animal excreta, residual bait, phytoplankton residues, chemical substances, and can produce amino oxidase, amino invertase, sulfide decomposition enzyme, can decompose smelly organic substances, hydrogen sulfide and so on, improve the breeding environment.

4. Flocculation

It can stick organic debris in water together, combine organic matter into flocculent, precipitate heavy metal ions and P element and purify water.

5. Occupying and inhibiting bacteria

Bacillus can produce a large number of bacteriocins, such as antimicrobial peptides, polymyxin, etc., which can effectively inhibit and kill pathogens in sediment and water environment.
