We have used organisms from many sources to develop our products. Sometimes when an organism with an enzyme system or other useful property is available in the public domain, Acorn obtains a pure culture of that microbe from a recognized culture collection (e.g., American Type Culture Collection). After checking it for purity, we preserve it by a proprietary process which allows the cells to remain stable for years without the damaging effects of freeze-drying. The organism is then ready to be revived at a moment’s notice for plant production. Many times organisms present in nature offer a better prospect of meeting the needs of a particular process. Acorn searches out those organisms which have potential for use in waste treatment and horticulture by using special enrichment culture techniques. After evaluating the performance of a new microbe, we preserve it and place it in our collection. Thus we have at our disposal a large group of organisms analyzed for novel industrial and agricultural uses. | ||||
