Friday the 21st of May at the "Technology, Alternative Energy, Closed System Production" Workshop, Cid Simões of AMBIEM Ltda Brazil will explore a new and rapidly growing phenomenon of Effective Micro Organisms (EM) providing detail explanation of their extensive work in the field.

According to Wikipeadia, EM Technology is defined as follows:

Effective Microorganisms, aka EM Technology, is a trademarked term now commonly used to describe a proprietary blend of 3 or more types of predominantly anaerobic organisms that was originally marketed as EM-1 Microbial Inoculant but is now marketed by a plethora of companies under various names, each with their own proprietary blend. "EM Technology" uses a laboratory cultured mixture of microorganisms consisting mainly of lactic acid bacteria, purple bacteria, and yeast which co-exist for the benefit of whichever environment they are introduced, as has been claimed by the various em-like culture purveyors. It is reported^[1] to include:

• Lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus plantarum; L. casei; Streptococcus Lactis.
• Photosynthetic bacteria: Rhodopseudomonas palustris; Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
• Yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Candida utilis (no longer used) (usually known as Torula, Pichia Jadinii).
• Actinomycetes (no longer used in the formulas): Streptomyces albus; S. griseus.
• Fermenting fungi (no longer used in the formulas): Aspergillus oryzae; Mucor hiemalis.

 
AMBIEM Ltda Company Profile:

Mission: In collaboration with EMRO Latin America and affiliates, “to disseminate EM technology™ EM and contribute to a sustainable society based on co-existence and co-prosperity, safety, low cost and high quality”.

Vision: Actual production systems lack new technologies that are suitable to the realities of the 21st century and for our future generations. The great challenge lies in the creation of new production systems and at the same time confronting the cultures of our society that are specializing more and more in the use of “technologies” that end up degrading our environment.


We believe that it is possible to change, possible to find and to establish production systems that are more environmentally friendly and at the same time to comply with the requirements and demands of our current society, to the point where we will leave our future generations a legacy of creativity, inspiration and of commitment to a healthy planet.


Commitment to its clients and the environment: Our company, from its beginnings, has took on the commitment to help look for sustainable alternatives for our consumers with the use of the EM Technology™, having complied with the highest quality standards in our activities and at the same time, harmonizing all these activities with the environment.
