Hydrocarbon Degraders Results are expressed as most probable number per gram. 100 = 102 1000 = 103 etc. CONCLUSION : There is a significant difference in micro organism levels detected between Global Peat and Competitor-1. Overall, there has been a much higher level of microbial recovery from Global Peat than from Competitor-1, especially of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria, yeast, fungi and hydrocarbon degraders.
