NOVELTY - Composition (A) of matter comprising a plant extract, vitamin mixture, surfactant, anti-foam agent and a preservative, where the components of (A) works together synergistically to increase the metabolism of microorganisms, is new.    USE - (A) is useful to treat waste water. (A) is useful to increase the yield of antibiotics and other biotechnology products produced from cultivation of microorganisms. (A) is useful to activate the microorganisms to a greater rate of respiration and thus converts substrate to usable product. (A) is useful to reduce hydrogen sulfide odor from waste water system. (A) is useful to optimize agricultural supplements including fertilizers and crop stimulants by stimulation of soil microorganisms. (A) is useful to control aquatic algae growth in ponds, lakes and lagoons by stimulation of microorganisms and their consumption of available nutrients. (A) is added to commercially used microorganisms to increase their effectiveness for their designated purpose. (A) is useful to optimize environmental remediation of hydrocarbon spills (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - (A) increases the metabolism of microorganisms. (A) reduces the fats, oils and grease in a waste water system including its collection lines and treatment plant by increasing metabolism of microorganisms. (A) reduces the overall biochemical oxygen demand, solids content and improve its settability of the waste water. (A) is useful to increase the production of extracellular products by stimulation of beneficial microorganisms to increase their utilization substrates. (A) follows a mechanism of cellular metabolic increase to optimize efficiency in processes that depend upon living organism metabolism for their operation and/or product production. (A) is useful to increase the production of alcohol and other fermentation processes using microorganisms (all claimed). (A) reduces the cost of waste water treatment. (A) enhances the aerobic and anaerobic biological activity, which in turn improves effluent quality. (A) decreases the recovery time after upset in a treatment facility.
