What can the right Bacillus do for plant health?

GrowVantage™ LIFT works where plants need it most, helping increase nutrient availability in the soil to support healthy growth and higher crop yields.

Across 12 MDG trials spanning four states and five crop types, LIFT-treated plants showed yield improvements of 3%–39% compared to controls.

One year ago this month, we celebrated the grand opening of our Oakwood facility in Franklin, Wisconsin.

At 117,000 square feet, Oakwood is our third production facility and brings our total fermentation capacity to 55,000 liters, alongside expanded lyophilization capabilities. That means more room to scale with our partners as their microbial innovations move from pilot to production.

We're proud to look back on a year at Oakwood—and excited for what's ahead.

Successful microbial scale-up starts long before full-scale production.

From beginning with the end in mind to testing at pilot scale, the decisions made early in the process can set the stage for success. With the right strategy and a trusted CMO for custom microbial fermentation, you can approach scale-up with confidence.

Cold weather is coming. Is your wastewater biology ready?

As water temperatures fall, microbial activity slows, which can impact treatment efficiency. Biotifx® FRZ is formulated with Bacillus strains scientifically selected to maintain treatment in low-temperature conditions below 59°F/15°C, helping systems manage FOG, sludge, and odor through the winter.

The time to switch is before the cold arrives, not after.

Colder water doesn’t have to mean less effective biology.

Biotifx® FRZ uses scientifically selected Bacillus strains that maintain biological activity as water temperatures drop, helping support wastewater treatment through colder conditions.

What happens when you put Bacillus to work in drains and grease traps?

In Part II of our “Putting Bacillus to Work” webinar series, MDG Technical Support Lead Jennifer Cray takes a closer look at how Bacillus-based ingredients can help address fats, oils, and grease (FOG) buildup in drains and grease traps.
