Effective Microorganisms (有用・微生物群, "Yūyō・Biseibutsugun") or EM is a technology first coined by Teruo Higa (比嘉照夫博) of Japan. EM1 was first brought to the market in 1982. His students started EM Research Organization in 1994 to expand the use of the technology to over 120 countries. Unfortunately not all products are available in all countries. The main products available are EM1, EM-X, and EM Ceramics. Only official products carry the EM Logo, a series of green dots with the letters "EM" in the largest circle. ==General== In essence Dr. Higa realized that there are three general forms of soil microbes involved with the process of growing plants that create a soil called a ''zymogenic soil''. The three groups of microbes that make up EM1 are Lactobacillus, Phototrophic Bacteria (PNSB), and Yeasts. There are 54 production facilities in the world. EM1 is the main product sold as a complete inoculant that can be activated (grown) once for economics. The process of activation results in a 20x increase in the culture. The activation process can only be done once from the EM1 without creating an unbalance in the growth of the microbes. ==Agricultural== EM1 is used to makeEM-Bokashi (EMぼかし). Bokashi (ぼかし) is an old vernacular word in Japanese language that translates into English as a ''fermented organic matter''. EM Bokashi is generally used to ferment food waste. Sometimes it can be made with manures and made into a bio-active fertilizer. When the EM-Bokashi is applied to the garden soil dramatic results may be realized for the harvest season. Even more amazing is the application of EM-Bokashi to soils that are not fertile or denuded in some other way. In a remarkably short time the soil is productive. Over the years this process has been expanded and refined. The various microbe classes maybe applied independently of one another (EM-1, EM-2, EM-3, EM-4 and EM-5 (Stochu)) for different needs in the agricultural and orcharding operations in a few countries that still sell the components. ==Domestic== In several countries EMRO and its partners market special "composting' bins (bokashi buckets available through EM Technology Network (www.emtech.org) to ferment food wastes for gardeining and agricultural applications. The technique used is very similar to traditional methods of vinegar production or the antique way of producing kombucha or kvass. The EM1 is used in the home like an probiotic] disinfectant for the bath and kitchen, as well as for disinfection of the septic system, as a natural drain cleaner, and to reduce the biosolids in sewage treatment. The process is akin to the use of peptidases and ureases for proteolysis degradation. EM1 has also been impregnated into ceramic disks for water purification. In fact whole towns in Kyoto Prefecture, using EM technology, are running on biogas from household organic. See Kyoto Protocol. ==Health== Recently it has been realized that these same microbes are the same as that in our beneficial intestine flora. Thus EM-X is used internally with great results for intestinal problems like cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and for hepatocellular carcinoma. Recently there has been a PROEM1 (probiotic) released into the health markets by EMRO USA Effective Microorganisms in Tucson, Arizona. The ''EM'' Research Organization, EMRO, has also employed the use of its EM-Technology in the relief efforts of the tsunami ravaged Thailand in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake. EM1 treatments were sprayed along the beaches to prevent the spread of disease pathogens from all the decaying bodies, and to reduce the noxious fumes. There is also EM Jojoba Soap and EM Rejuvenating Salt. ==References== *"英語版 地球を救う大変革 - An Earth Saving Revolution I", trnsl.
