Microbetech Bio-System® Technology
Microbetech is a leading edge bio-remediation company with environmental products that provide effective and innovative solutions for cleaning up pollution and restoring water, soil, and plant health. We firmly believe in the efficacy of our products and formulas to clean and enhance our surroundings safely and effectively with a natural and non-toxic treatment of the environment. At Microbetech, we believe our products can help save the planet!
Mission
Our mission is to clean up pollution and improve soils, waters, plants and ecosystems through the use of these dynamic Bio-System products throughout the world bringing us closer to accomplishing our vision.
Philosophy
The fundamental philosophy underlying the Bio-System technology is to utilize what nature and older world cultures have used for thousands of years to treat pollution and disease: natural microorganisms, enzymes, amino acids and macro-minerals. Our products are non-toxic to plants, humans, animals and water. They are natural and organic and they do not introduce any substance that is foreign or upsetting to the natural eco-system. They remove toxic conditions and bio-stimulate the ecosystem to healthy conditions.
Products
Our products contain all natural ingredients, consisting of humic acid, enzymes, trace minerals and live microbes. There are no synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or genetically engineered microorganisms in our products. All of Microbetech products are non-toxic to fish, wildlife, domestic animals, and humans. The products are safe to handle and effective at recommended application rates.
Microbetech products have been approved for use by the State of California Department of Fish and Game as biologically safe for the environment.
All the microbes in our products are recognized as beneficial and
are included on the approved list of beneficial microbes of the American
Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
Inventor
Mr. Hugh Muir has devoted the past 30 years to the R&D of patented, advanced biological systems for agricultural applications, leading to his becoming the inventor of the Bio-System® technology and founder of his company, the Materials Science Company.
Prior to 1975, Mr. Muir had a long and distinguished career in major scientific corporations such as Astro Research at NASA, Dow Chemical and Collins Radio. He was instrumental in the development of space-oriented materials employed in early NASA space projects. His single crystal research led to some of the earliest rare earth single crystal lasers at Crystal Technology Corporation, which he owned and later sold to Varian Associates.
History
In the early 1970’s, an avocado farmer asked Hugh Muir if he knew of any way to deal with his leaking septic tanks that were leaching toxins into the soil. He returned with a microbial formula he had designed and treated the infected soil around the tanks. Weeks later the farmer excitedly summoned Muir to his farm. To their great surprise the avocado trees surrounding the leach field area that were previously highly stressed and dying, were rapidly improving, showing new limb, foliage growth and blossom development.
This revelation set Muir on his quest: to evaluate the feasibility of employing beneficial microorganisms (bacterial soil microbes) to remediate and enhance agricultural and horticultural soil. He was determined to discover an alternative agricultural protocol to bio-remediate the devastation of the country’s soil that had suffered from sixty years and millions of tons of harsh agricultural chemicals, which his field studies indicated were the source of the problem. What was needed was a bio-system that would act in a symbiotic and complimentary way to nature in restoring the soil’s vitality.
Research
The initial research revolved around the concept of inoculating specific beneficial microbes into a soil to perform bioremediation in the physical, chemical and biological areas. Experimentation with a number of formulas achieved only a 5% success rate. The reason was that the soil had been so debilitated by toxic agriculture-chemicals the microbes couldn’t gain a foothold and propagate. This lead to Muir’s discovery that he could effectively remediate almost any marginal soil environment no matter how abused it was by combining a carefully optimized biological and nutritional formulation of microbes and plant enzymes, fulvic and humic acids, polysaccharides and trace minerals.
Over the next several years, Muir evolved the technology to add sophisticated formulations of many species of microbes with various organic bioremediation material components. The success of the Bio-System® technology not only lead to the ability to treat many varieties of agricultural and horticultural crops and soils, but has also been applied to the successful treatment of seeds and unique foliar applications, water remediation, animal feed additives, and human health nutritional products, and has vast potential in nursery and forestry applications.
Microbetech has worked closely with Mr. Muir for over 15 years.
Working together, we completed extensive testing of the aquatic and
foliar/soil microbial formulas in participation with the University
of San Francisco, U.C.L.A. and other laboratories. The products have
consistently resulted in bioremediation of soil and/or water bodies.

Description: The Lagoon at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco is a man-made lake constructed for The Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in San Francisco in 1915. The lagoon has a population of visiting birdlife that along with the local fauna has contributed to the very poor water quality of the lagoon.
Treatment: AQ products removed excess nutrients and odors and located a sewage problem.
Turtle Bay Restoration Project
Clear Lake, Lake County, California

Description: Clear Lake's outflow becomes Cache Creek, a tributary that runs to the San Francisco Bay Delta. It is America's oldest ancient lake dated to be more than 2 million years old. It has been the home of 7 Native American tribes dating back more than 10,000 years. The southern shoreline of Clear Lake was choked with thousands of dead fish as a result of algae blooms, chemical pollution, and reduced oxygen levels in the lake. The dead fish caused contaminated water and noxious odors.
Treatment: AQ products were applied to help bioremediate odors and breakdown fish carcasses, removing odors and carcasses within weeks.
Tulle Restoration Project
Clear Lake, Lake County, California

Description: In the last 5 years, over 500 tons of agricultural chemicals have been systematically applied to Clear Lake to control the growth of aquatic plants. Unfortunately, large die-offs of fish, clams, snails and other wildlife have occurred. Also affected, are the tulle beds that are an important part of the Clear Lake ecosystem as they support an array of fish and wildlife.
Treatment: AQ products were applied to the weakened tulle beds in the Big Valley Reservation property successfully restoring the tulle wetlands.
