A Functional Cohort of Real Reef Bacteria: Restore Key Anaerobic Microbial Genera with PNS Deep Cycle™
Phototrophic diazotrophs are ecologically integral, and indeed well represented, in natural coral reef microbiomes. This group includes purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB), purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) and green sulfur bacteria (GSB) which play critical roles in carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycling. Many form symbiotic associations with corals. They even act as keystone species within microbial communities, promoting diverse and dynamic ecosystems overall.
Despite their ubiquitous presence on wild reefs, these beneficial bacteria are not often abundant in reef aquaria. PNS Deep Cycle™ contains a functional consortium of anaerobes, including PNSB, PSB and GSB. Originating from a wild coral reef, the indigenous reef microorganisms in this unique product work together in a syntrophic manner to restore the aquarium microbiome to a more naturally healthful state. May be applied to any deep send bed and/or porous biomedia (including dry rock)!
