How it works

Waterzyme contains enzymes that select and target cyanobacteria through multiple modes of action, including flocculation. It is Waterzyme’s uniquely selective function that makes our product ideal and safe for any application.

1

Selective for Cyanobacteria

Our scientific research demonstrates that Waterzyme selects for cyanobacteria. The selective function of the enzymes evolved over millennia - we have simply optimised the process.

2

Multi-Modes of Action

Unlike conventional treatments, Waterzyme works in various ways - including cell wall interactions and flocculation. This natural process ensures that strata of species are treated and removed.

3

Supports Diatoms

Once the harmful algal bloom has been mitigated, Waterzyme works to support diatoms and ecosystem health for further defence against future blooms.

Modes of Action

Waterzyme has 6 key modes of action: disrupts ribosome function, inhibits nucleic acid, inhibits cell wall synthesis, modifies proton and associated anion dynamics, damages plasma membranes, and flocculates species for photosynthesis inhibition.

These multiple modes of action result in cell lysis/necrosis, encystment, cell cycle inhibition, ROS production, PCD, and photosynthesis inhibition. Waterzyme also contains essential minerals that support diatom growth, which helps to restore ecosystem health and provide a natural barrier to future blooms.

Australia’s solution to blue-green algae

Water pollution costs the global economy more than $1 trillion every year. In Australia, more than $250 million is spent annually on blue-green algae management.

Waterzyme is the solution.

Waterzyme is a low-cost solution that treats your water and reduces your operational costs without compromising on effectiveness and performance. Waterzyme's effectiveness is backed by extensive research and testing. Scientific studies have demonstrated its remarkable ability to treat harmful algae blooms and improve water quality. 

Case Study 1

Waterzyme partnered with a NSW Council to treat its wastewater treatment plant, which has been experiencing harmful algae blooms with potentially toxic cyanophytes. The three-week field calibration's primary objective was to assess the application of Waterzyme and estimate the reduction of Microcystis spp.

The secondary objective was to monitor water quality and aquatic species parameters in the pond and receiving environment to determine the effect of this application.

Image

Application

Waterzyme was applied to the waterway (1 litre of Waterzyme per 250,000 litres of treatable water)

Results

Over the course of three weeks, the total cyanophyta and Microcycstis had a 95% and 96% overall removal rate respective. Analysis of water quality and aquatic species data revealed Waterzyme only targets the toxic algae species, not affecting the other beneficial organisms.

Application

Waterzyme was applied to the waterways (1 litre of Waterzyme per 250,000 litres of treatable water)

Results

Within two weeks there was a significant overall reduction of both primary and ancillary toxins. Within four weeks there was a 90% reduction.

Case Study 2

Waterzyme partnered with a NSW Council battling high levels of cyanotoxins in its public waterways. A four-week field calibration was conducted in two wastewater treatment ponds with high toxic levels, including high levels of common blue-green algae and similarly correlated high biovolumes.

The field calibration specifically focused on measuring strains of harmful algal blooms (HABs) that pose the most serious dangers to human health, such as Microcystis and Dolichospermum.
