Peggie, this is a good time to ask you something that has puzzled me ... is
there actually bacteria in KO, because if the bacteria is aerobic, how does
it live in the sealed bottle?

K.O. is indeed live bacteria--more than 100 BILLION (yep, that IS
"billion" with a "b") colonies per gallon, in fact. They're dormant in
a special "broth" in the bottle--kinda like hibernating bears...and
"wake up" when given a food source--i.e. organic matter.

Those are the layman's terms the lab who developed it for us (and still
makes it for Raritan) used in explaining it to me..if you want a more
scientific explanation, you'll have to ask a bio-chemist. You can also
ask Raritan for the MSDS.
