(WO9725411-A1)      Bio-enhancing composition (I) for stimulating metabolism of a microorganism comprises carbohydrate and 0.01 % by weight saponin.    USE -   (I) is used to accelerate bacterial metabolism in the degradation of organic waste, particularly grease and sewage (claimed). Clogging up of waste pipes and production of noxious odours is prevented. (I) may also be used in the acceleration of bacterial metabolism to degrade oil spills, in recycling plants, various biotechnological applications, in composts, contaminated soils, golf course turf, farmland, farm water, ponds, water hazards and potable water.    ADVANTAGE -   (I) is not harmful to the environment. (I) increases respiration of the bacteria, allowing quicker, more efficient break down of organic waste by the bacteria. (I) acts on all naturally occurring bacteria that feed on organic waste. Organic waste adhered to the inside of pipes is also degraded more quickly leading to a widening of the waste passage and hence improved movement of waste.
