<p>A method of reducing undesirable microorganism concentration, promoting desirable microorganism propagation/conditioning, and increasing desirable microorganism efficiency in an aqueous fluid stream includes (a) introducing a quantity of fermentable carbohydrate, sugar or cellulose to an aqueous fluid stream, (b) introducing a quantity of desirable microorganism to the aqueous fluid stream, (c) introducing a ClO2 solution into the aqueous fluid stream and (f) introducing an antibiotic into said aqueous fluid stream. An apparatus for the same comprising a ClO2 generator, a batch tank, a process vessel having a ClO2 solution inlet and an antibiotic inlet wherein introducing ClO2 solution and antibiotic from the batch tank and the antibiotic inlet to the process vessel promotes propagation of producing microorganisms present in the vessel.</p> |
