What effect does BZT® Aquaculture have on Phosphorus?
Phosphorus, or more properly put, excess phosphorus, has been identified as the single most important factor in the rapid growth of aquatic weeds. Microorganisms or bacteria are very simple organisms which have two basic functions; to metabolize/eat and reproduce. Bacteria require phosphorus for their necessary life functions. BZT® Aquaculture’s bacteria use phosphorus in their cell mass, making it unavailable as a nutrient for aquatic weeds. Phosphorus is a key component in the make up of DNA and RNA (the “building blocks” of life), which are necessary for bacterial cell replication.
