Online published on 10 May, 2019. Abstract The Effective microorganisms is a commercial bio fertilizer that contains a mixture of coexisting beneficial microorganisms collected from natural environment. Effective microorganisms were developed at the University of the Ryukyus, Japan, in early 1980 by Dr. Teruo Higa. Approximately 80 different microorganisms are capable to positively influencing decomposition organic substance such that is revert in to a life promoting process. EM is a fermented mixed culture of naturally occurring species of co-existing microorganisms in acidic medium (pH below 3.5). Among the main microorganisms in EM culture are the species of photosynthesis bacteria (Rhodopseudomonas pastrics, and Rhodobacter sphacrodes), Lactobacilli (L. plantarum, L. casei, and Streptococcus lactis), yeast (Saccharomyces spp) and actinomycetes (Streptomyses sp). EM technology has not only helped agricultural but it also assisted in the field of live stock, the environment, construction, industry and health. EM X Gold drink a potent health drink formed from the effective microorganisms. The drink can help strength of immune system, Reduce risk infection, improve body is acid, alkaline balance, increase decontamination.
