What is Advanced Microbes 201 (AM-201)?
AM-201 is a field-proven microbial solution for treating contaminated water, soil, and wastewater systems where a diverse range of chemical pollutants are present. Each of its 34 strains has been selected, cultivated, and tested for its ability to metabolize persistent environmental compounds that are otherwise resistant to breakdown.
These microorganisms are not only effective in oxygen-rich environments (aerobic), but many of them can also shift into anoxic respiration, allowing them to keep working even when oxygen levels drop -- an essential advantage in underground or enclosed systems.
Targets a wide range of chemically complex compounds like pesticides, chlorinated solvents, dyes, and VOCs.
Operates in both aerobic and anoxic environments, maintaining effectiveness even when oxygen availability fluctuates.
Effective in groundwater, runoff, and industrial waste streams, and well-suited for environmental sites, agriculture, and chemical manufacturing facilities.
How Our AM-201 Microbial Product Works
Once introduced into the treatment environment, the AM-201 microbial population begins metabolizing contaminants, using them as carbon sources. The microbes break down pollutants step-by-step—first cleaving molecular bonds, then converting compounds into intermediate byproducts like organic acids or alcohols, and finally reducing them to harmless outputs such as carbon dioxide and water.
Unlike single-species approaches, AM-201 thrives as a multi-strain community, where each species specializes in degrading a different compound or performing a specific enzymatic step. This community approach makes AM-201 highly effective in complex or unpredictable contamination scenarios.
Because these microbes reproduce and generate more enzymes as they feed, AM-201’s impact is self-sustaining, requiring fewer repeat treatments over time and less manual intervention.
