What are the actual microorganisms
The discovery of the actual microorganisms dates back to 1982, by the Japanese professor Teruo Higa, who realized that different microorganisms combined - a large group of bacteria responsible for the regenerative process - had, in certain products used for agriculture, a much better and more natural effect than using chemical products.
Their diffusion, in more than 150 countries of the world, is in continuous growth, touching above all sectors of everyday life. The products containing actual microorganisms are found as much in agriculture, breeding and animal husbandry, fish farming, composting, waste treatment and waste water, building; but also and increasingly in domestic cleanliness, health and well-being of the body.
