  • The source of microorganisms is almost endless and can be applied to many fields. 

2. Characteristics of microbiological technology

Microbiological technology is an advanced technology industry that is widely implemented in many countries today. Its characteristics are:

  • Using microorganisms: Scientists have applied and developed microbial technology based on the activities of bacteria, fungi, and plant and animal cells. The use of microorganisms is to help form products with desired properties.
  • Biological processes: Undertake the task of producing or improving services and products including: Fermentation, Protein synthesis or nucleic acid synthesis
  • Many applications: Currently, microbial technology is being applied and deployed in many industries: Industry, agriculture, energy, environment, and healthcare. It contributes to improving production efficiency and human life.
  • Sustainability: Compared to traditional solutions, this technology is highly sustainable and safer. It prioritizes the use of renewable raw materials, thus saving energy and raw materials. More importantly, microbial technology minimizes negative impacts on the living environment.
  • Great potential: If exploited well, this technology has the ability to meet global challenges such as: Climate change, environmental pollution, food security… Thanks to high-tech, sustainable solutions, microbial technology helps completely solve many future risks.
  • Improving performance: Obviously, when applying microbial technology, efficiency in manufacturing industries will increase significantly, minimizing errors, especially key industries such as: Industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals..
  • Creating safe products: Through the use of natural microorganisms, products created from this technology ensure the following criteria: Safe, benign, environmentally friendly.
  • Limit the use of chemicals: Microbiological technology minimizes the use of chemicals and pesticides in production. Beneficial bacteria will create natural antibodies, thereby supporting the control of emerging pathogens.

3. Application of microbial technology in agriculture

In agriculture, people have long known how to apply microbial technology to treat shrimp farming water and wastewater effectively , contributing to improving crop and livestock productivity

3.1. Shrimp farming water treatment

Water quality plays a decisive role in the aquaculture industry, especially shrimp farming. Because water pollution will create conditions for harmful bacteria to grow, leading to epidemics that cause mass death of shrimp or slow growth. Therefore, shrimp farming water must be treated properly. 

Shrimp farming water can be treated with various types of microbial products

Shrimp farming water can be treated with microbial products

To clean shrimp farming water, farmers can use some groups of microorganisms such as:

  • Group of microorganisms that support the digestive tract of shrimp: Such as Saccharomyces, Bacillus and Lactobacillus. 
  • Group of microorganisms that compete with pathogenic bacteria: This group of microorganisms is often used to clean pond bottoms. Among them, Bacillus sp and Bacillus Licheniformis are two types of microorganisms that have the ability to clean the bottom of shrimp ponds. 
  • Group of microorganisms that support environmental cleaning: Besides cleaning the environment, microorganisms such as Bacillus, Nitrosomonas, Rhodospirillum sp,… Also help increase oxygen levels and maintain stable pH. 

If the water source is treated properly, with the right process, with the right technology will help shrimp grow faster and be less susceptible to disease attacks. 

The 2 most effective types of water and shrimp pond bottom treatment products today are: Emzeo TS and Em products based on aquatic products:

  • Emzeo TS: Suitable for quickly handling problems such as pollution, toxic gases and algae.
  • Aquaculture-based EM products: Biomass can be multiplied to save costs and be flexible in many stages.

3.2. Wastewater treatment

Under pressure from population growth and the development of manufacturing industry, water resources in many areas of the world are being seriously threatened . In Vietnam, water pollution also causes many consequences. If not handled properly, we will no longer have clean water to use, affecting public health as well as the living environment. 

Many types of microorganisms have the ability to reduce organic waste in wastewater

Instead of using chemicals, scientists encourage treating water with microorganisms. For example, some types of bacteria and algae have the ability to absorb impurities in water, helping to naturally purify water. 

The advantage of treating water with microbial technology is that it does not pollute the environment. The mechanism for cleaning water with microorganisms is to rely on microorganisms to naturally decompose organic impurities. At this time, organic impurities in water are the food source for microorganisms. 

In addition, microorganisms also have the ability to decompose waste into simpler forms or released gases. Thanks to that, the amount of waste in the country also reduces rapidly.

2.3. Application in farming

Today, microbial technology plays a very important role in the farming industry. If in the past, farmers still mainly relied on chemical fertilizers to stimulate crop growth, now microbial fertilizers are gradually replaced.

Microbiological fertilizer helps regenerate the soil environment, stimulating plant growth

Results analysis from experts shows that microbial fertilizers used in agriculture today can completely replace some forms of chemical fertilizers such as potassium, nitrogen, phosphate, etc. The advantages of this line of fertilizers include:

  • Stimulates plants to grow quickly, limits pests and diseases, supports strong root systems to help plants stand firmer. 
  • Safe for people in direct contact and the environment. 
  • Helps farmers save costs because biofertilizers are quite reasonably priced. 
  • Supports the improvement of the soil environment, creating conditions for beneficial microorganisms to grow and stimulate plant growth.

3.4. Application in animal husbandry

In addition to farming, microbial technology is also widely used in the livestock industry. Accordingly, people can synthesize useful product lines such as yeast and mushrooms to clean the livestock environment and deodorize. 

Many types of fungi and yeast are also raw materials for poultry bedding thanks to their ability to fight against pathogens. Thanks to this, poultry can grow quickly, significantly improving productivity.

4. The importance of microbiological technology in the field of health, scientific research and waste treatment 

In addition to applications in the field of agriculture, microbial technology also plays a central role in many fields of scientific research, medicine and waste treatment. 

4.1. In the medical field

Currently, many pharmaceutical companies are applying microbiological technology to the production process of a number of drugs, vaccines, nutritional supplements, etc. Many new types of tests based on microbiological technology have been born.

Microbiological technology and biotechnology in general are making an important contribution to promoting the development of the medical industry and pharmaceutical production globally. People can partly prevent and diagnose many diseases early and be more proactive in epidemic prevention. 

4.2. In the field of scientific research

Many scientific research fields today are extensively applying microbiological technology. Accordingly, the application of microbiological technology can help scientists find the characteristics of microorganisms, the rules of development and change in different environmental conditions. 

During research and application, people often focus on monitoring the interactions between different microorganisms, examining the structure and changes in biological communities. 

In addition, microbiological technology is also applied in genetic surveys of organisms. Thanks to that, scientists will make objective assessments and select appropriate microbial strains. 

4.3. In the field of waste treatment

Waste, especially organic waste is currently treated using microbiological technology. Specifically, with commercially available microbial products, you can process daily organic waste, turning it into nutrient-rich fertilizer used to strengthen plants.

5. Some barriers when applying microbial technology to life

  • Microorganisms are often microscopic in size and cannot be observed with the naked eye, so during the technology deployment process, monitoring will be a bit difficult. 
  • Requires modern culture and preservation environment. 
  • Microorganisms have the ability to genetically change to adapt to environmental conditions, which often hinders research.
