MDG News and Updates

Microbial Discovery Group (MDG) is exhibiting at Recent Advances in Fermentation Technology (RAFT®) 15th conference on October 29-November 1, 2023. The Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB) organized the conference and exhibition at the Naples Grande Beach Resort in Naples, FL. MDG is attending the conference, and its tabletop exhibit can be found at Table #31.    The Wisconsin-based Bacillus manufacturing and R&D company is eager to be part of a conference that provides a forum for academic and industrial scientists to discuss the latest developments in fermentation technology.   “We grow Bacillus that is FSMA compliant and HACCP certified for food and feed production,” says MDG’s Business Development Manager. “We are a growing company looking forward to networking with other professionals in the fermentation industry.”   As a toll manufacturer and distributor of Bacillus-based biotechnology, MDG grows pure Bacillus culture, providing single strain Bacillus. Their custom fermentation capabilities, DNA testing, GMP (good manufacturing practices), and clean-in-place (CIP) systems guarantee the growth of pure single-strain Bacillus.   Visitors at MDG’s table can expect to network with Microbial Discovery Group. Additionally, tabletop visitors will receive information on MDG’s growing custom fermentation and spray drying capacity and capabilities.    For more information on growing Bacillus with […]

Every year, we participate in trade shows and exhibitions around the globe, showcasing our innovative microbial solutions in the wastewater industry. This year, we will be attending the International Water Association (IWA) World Water Congress & Exhibition from August 11–15 in Toronto, Canada. This event offers MDG a platform to present our Bacillus strains, which are on the Canadian Domestic Substance List (DSL), highlighting the compliance and suitability for use in Canadian water management and environmental applications. About the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition The IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition is a premier global event focused on water management and sustainability. The event gathers experts, decision-makers, and innovators to discuss solutions for water-related challenges. Our Role MDG partners with distributors and manufacturers in the wastewater treatment market to help them increase their sales and take their businesses to new heights with our unique Biotifx® platform. Focusing on bioaugmentation treatment, we offer our partners the education, tools, and hands-on support they need to succeed across applications. Find MDG at Booth #736—if you see us, stop by and say hi! While attending the event, we’re looking to connect with industry leaders, explore new collaborations, and promote our sustainable microbial solutions […]

Consumers in the industrial and institutional market are becoming increasingly interested in cleaning products that are easier on the environment. As a manufacturer, you may be looking to enhance your product offerings with microbial ingredients to meet this growing demand. If you’re new to biological solutions, we’re the perfect partner for you! We specialize in Bacillus, crafting high-quality bacterial ingredients that effectively reduce built-up waste, odor, and more across multiple applications in the industrial and institutional market. But our support doesn’t stop when we ship you the final ingredient. At MDG, we value long-term, strategic partnerships that provide support for your teams and help you take your business to new heights. Take a look at a specific example of how MDG’s guidance and support helped an industrial and institutional customer increase their sales of microbial-based products. Ingredient Support Part of our partnership includes access to the education and training you need to create an effective biological cleaning product. The customer received recommendations from our expert microbiologists on formulation best practices so that they could craft a high-quality product while reducing the chance of spoilage or decreased effectiveness. This guidance, along with additional market analysis, helped our customer make educated and […]

The changing of the seasons can have a pronounced effect on wastewater systems, particularly when the weather gets cold. Lower temperatures correspond to a decrease in microbial activity, which slows the treatment process. If you’re looking for a solution for your wastewater customers, we offer a product specifically designed to perform well in colder water temperatures: Biotifx® FRZ.   How does Biotifx® FRZ work? The Bacillus strains in FRZ are scientifically selected for their ability to maintain their biological activity in colder water, specifically temperatures at or below 59°F/15°C. This means that treatment doesn’t slow down as much during winter, keeping wastewater facilities functioning more efficiently and avoiding system upsets caused by seasonal changes. In our in-house labs, we put our solution to the test against competing cold-weather biological products. Overall, Biotifx® FRZ performance stayed consistently high across both colder and warmer temperatures.   Biological Activity Comparison As shown in Figure 1, FRZ maintained 92% of its biological activity during a drop in temperature from 77°F/25°C to 39°F/4°C. In comparison, the two competitor products we tested maintained only 1% and 5% of their biological activity throughout the same decrease in temperature. Figure 1: Comparing biological activity at 39°F/4°C to that […]
