Life and Volcano
Despite the negative impacts of volcanic activity, there are positives of volcanoes, too. Volcanic dust, ash and rocks decompose into soils with an exceptional ability to hold nutrients and water, making them very fertile. (Sciencing)
Mineral assemblages often develop due to fluids from igneous intrusions. From gemstones to gold and other metals, volcanoes are related to much of the mineral wealth of the Earth. The search for these minerals and other ores fueled many of the human explorations of Earth.
Scientific Studies
A study done by Japanese scientists, Unique Pioneer Microbial Communities Exposed to Volcanic Sulfur Dioxide, dives deep into the formation process of biologically transformed atmospheric carbon and nitrogen to the ecosystem by pioneer microorganisms.
Volcanic ash doesn’t only work on the land but in the ocean. This study done by German scientists confirmed significant differences in diversity of bacterial OTUs (operational taxonomic units) between the volcanogenic substrates and the biogenic and quartz substrates, while calcite, carbonate reef sand and quartz were not significantly different from each other.
They show that volcanogenic substrates support a notably diverse bacterial community, exhibiting higher numbers of OTUs over the course of 1–3 months than both terrigenic and biogenic substrates. The observed diversity amongst substrates indicates that the initial community structure is likely dictated by differences in substrate physicochemical properties (Reference).
Microorganism
Microorganisms and their activities are vitally important to virtually all processes on Earth which include bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, prions, protozoa and algae, collectively known as ‘microbes’. They play a crucial role in our lives. In fact we couldn’t live without them but they could live without us.
That is because some fungi and also soil bacteria, called the decomposers, break down dead plants and animals and their waste products into simpler substances, called nutrients. Beyond nutrient cycling, these microbes play key roles in biodegradation/biodeterioration, climate change, food spoilage, the cause and control of disease, and biotechnology.
Microorganisms in Foods
Microorganisms have been used since ancient times to make bread, cheese, yoghurt and wine. Food manufacturers continue to use micro-organisms today to make a wide range of food products by a process known as fermentation. Fermentation not only gives food a good taste, texture and smell, but it causes changes that reduce the growth of unwanted food microbes.
Microorganisms in Human Body
The surfaces of the human body inside and out, for example the skin, mouth and the intestines, are covered in millions of individual micro-organisms that don’t do us any harm. In fact they help to protect us from becoming infected with harmful microbes. They are known as the normal body flora.
The number of normal bacterial cells that live on the body is in the region of 100 million. This number is 10 times greater than the 10 million cells that make up the human body. Micro-organisms matter because they affect every aspect of our lives – they are in us, on us and around us.
Technology
Happy Micro was invented almost 30 years in Japan. The discovery was led by a clear goal of bringing the nature back to Earth. Our inventer studied and experimented with volcanic ash and mineral/nutrient dense soil for a solution to address sustainability issues.
With countless iterations, he created Happy Micro that is the catalyst for micro-organisms growth with diversity with 100% natural compounds. As described in Microorganism section, they are the center of the whole ecosystem on Earth. By supporting them, we are also supporting our sustainable future.
Happy Micro in Soil
Soil microbes produce lots of gummy substances (polysaccharides and mucilage, for example) that help to cement soil aggregates. This cement makes aggregates less likely to crumble when exposed to water.
Fungal filaments also stabilise soil structure because these threadlike structures branch out (source). Happy Micro helps those microbes perform better to benefit the soil we need for agricultural products. (Read: Anti-aging & Nutritious)
Happy Micro in Water
For water quality purification, Happy Micro enhances the capability of decomposition and purification by microbes in a series of food chain, decreases Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and Chemical oxygen demand (COD), and reduces Total nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorous (TP), thereby improving the transparency of the water.

This is a research done a Japanese food company for their industrial wastewater. As you can see the BOD and COD were 32x and 46x less in a month. The suspended solids was down 38x as well. The transparency and odor issues were improved significantly. (Read: Odorless Farming)
