Consortium of Effective Microorganisms and its Mass Scale Production

Ratna Trivedi ^[3] | Jay Bergi

Abstract: It has been widely studied that activity of microorganisms causes decomposition of organic matter into simpler forms and thus render it less harmful. Studies have shown that in bioremediation, group of microorganisms are more efficient then single species. Effective microorganisms are the group of microorganisms of selected characteristics, which are found to biodegrade the pollutant efficiently. The group of selected microorganisms has enhanced benefits of being non-pathogenic as well as producing end products that are easy to handle. Studies have been carried out for its application in bioremediation of wastewater. The use of effective microorganisms (EM) has been found to reduce volumes of sewage sludge and the process becomes odour-less. This makes the process more economical as it reduces the cost of sludge treatment and odour control.
