life. Whether you are cleaning up the garage
floor or managing the family farm, our
products use nature's own processes to
make your life easier.
Microorganisms are found everywhere in
nature. They where the first living organisms
on earth and they are still here.
Microorganisms have been living with, in and
on human beings from the very beginning of
man kind. Of all the living cells that make up
the normal, healthy human body, more than
99% are the cells of microorganisms living in
and on the human body.
Microorganisms are small organisms not
visible to the eye. The most used examples
of microorganisms are bacteria and fungus.
As with humans, there are good and bad
bacteria and fungus. People seems to focus
on the bad ones, that causes health
problems to a lot of people every day, but they
often forget that there would not be any life
without the good microorganisms helping
nature and humans everyday.
Enzymes are found in every living organism:
man, animals, plants or microorganisms
such as bacteria or fungi.
Enzymes are the tools of nature. They cut and
paste products such as nutrients. Enzymes
speed up all vital biological processes. The
enzymes in the stomach, for instance,
ensure that food is cut into tiny particles that
can be converted into energy in the body.
Wherever one substance needs to be
transformed into another, nature uses
enzymes to speed up the process.
Enzymes are large molecules with hundreds
of amino acids. Only a small part of the
enzyme participates in the catalysis of
biochemical reactions: this is called the
active site.
The three-dimensional structure of the
enzyme determines the appearance of the
active site. The active site accommodates the
shape of the biological substrate that
requires transformation. They fit like a key in
a lock. This is what makes enzymes specific
in their actions. Only substances of the right
shape will be transformed.
