A natural product that makes use of selected micro-organisms to compete for nutrients and suppress the growth of many species of Algae

  GREENWATER ALGAE      BLUE GREEN ALGAE      BLANKET WEED

EXCALIBIO harnesses selected microbes to change the water chemistry of the lake and steer the ecosystem away from a tendency to grow nuisance algae.

In still waters, problems with algae result from an imbalance in the aquatic ecosystem. Where there are insufficient waterweeds present, algae are the first to ‘grab’ available nutrients when temperature and sunlight increase in the spring. Rapid growth of algae can quickly shade or smother waterweeds, making algae the dominant recyclers of nutrients. If this annual cycle can be broken, waterweeds can re-establish a long-lasting balance. Excalibio works to suppress the growth of algae, by environment-friendly means, by starving it and modifying the water chemistry – simply giving nature a helping hand.

In the aquatic environment, millions of micro-organisms compete for dominance of the available resources, including nutrients and light.  These battles could be described as passive-aggressive because many micro-organisms have developed the ability to produce substances that are hostile to their competitors, so that they can gain competitive advantage. Excalibio contains carefully selected micro-organisms with an enhanced ability to compete for nutrients. They also have other, special properties. Studies have shown that they produce substances that hamper the growth of algae. They also degrade organic matter in the lake, producing intermediary substances that can, in the presence of sunlight, result in the production of hydrogen peroxide, which can itself suppress the growth of algae.
