Bacteria
Billions of years ago, bacteria were among the earliest forms of life on Earth.
Today, bacteria are present in the soil, in the air, in water, on plants and even on animals and humans.
There's no escaping the presence of bacteria and in fact, many of the bacteria we encounter are beneficial to the environment and even to the human body, helping us to digest food for example. However, some bacteria are harmful and can cause illness.
Algae
Simple, plantlike microorganisms, algae are often classified at the phylum level according to their color, i.e. green, red, golden-brown and brown. Algae vary in size from microscopic algae to the largest forms such as seaweeds.
While they can vary in habitat, most algae are found in fresh water or seawater. Algae use the energy of sunlight through the process of photosynthesis to make their own food.
Algae produce more oxygen than all plants combined and play an invaluable role in our ecosystem. Humans have also found other uses for algae, as food for people and animals, as thickening agents in ice cream, in shampoos and even in some drugs. In some cases, they can however damage product surfaces for example your swimming pool filter, the hull of your boat, or the
exterior of your home and now you can have the only swimming pool in the world that fights Algae & Bacteria standard!
