Beneficial Bacteria

Boost your ponds’ water quality with Beneficial Bacteria 

Beneficial bacteria for ponds are microorganisms that break down organic matter and are found naturally in lakes and ponds. Different varieties of pond bacteria exist, and each one has a unique way of decomposing organic materials. Utilizing oxygen, aerobic bacteria quickly degrade organic materials. While anaerobic bacteria do so far more slowly without oxygen. Enzymes produced by both types of bacteria allow them to break down organic substances and absorb them as nutrition into their cells.

Denitrification is another process carried out by many bacteria, which converts nitrate into nitrogen gas and expels it from the pond system. Additionally, they can transform soluble phosphorus in the water column into insoluble minerals like calcium phosphate and calcium iron phosphate. This process makes these nutrients unavailable to many algae making the ponds cleaner and safer from algae blooms. 

There are many formulations for the best beneficial bacteria for ponds. At Protopond, we work with major brands like EasyPro and CrystalClear. You have the option of choosing the formulations in the form of powder, liquid, or even pallets. It is important to remember that most beneficial bacteria pond formulations function significantly better when combined with pond aeration because they contain aerobic bacteria. Maximizing dissolved oxygen levels optimizes bacterial metabolism; therefore, adding a floating fountain or aerator will significantly enhance the overall result of any water treatment.
