PURIFYING BACTERIA?

                    PURIFYING BACTERIA

Natto, considered a delicacy by most Japanese, is fermented soya beans that smell and taste awful!

Big Bio Co. in Fukuoka started to make porous concrete blocks with natto bacteria (Bacillus subtilis natto). Beneficial bacteria, the ‘subtilis natto group’, are encapsulated into blocks made of porous rocks which can then degrade and eliminate ammonia and organic substances that pollute water.

The blocks were placed in a fish tank and within a week the green algae was gone. One tank’s water was not changed for eight years and remained clear of all algae thanks to the beneficial bacteria. Indeed an interesting use of natto! 

The beneficial bacterium flourishes in both fresh and salt water. Laying down EcoBio-Blocks in murky rivers or lakes results in cleaner water without causing any overload to the environment.

A string of orders for the EcoBio-Block are coming in from around the world. The company has developed a wide range of EcoBio-Block products such as the little EcoBio-Ring made to remove bad odors and slime typical to home aquariums.

If Natto seems to miraculously purify water from pollution; how much more is God able to clean us from our inner contamination! Unless Jesus Christ washes us, we remain in the cesspool of our sins.

When we were overwhelmed by sins,

you forgave our transgressions

(Ps. 65:3, NIV).
