HighTVanswered grow question 6 years ago Long story short They are fine to use together because enzymes have a something known as 'lock and key' meaning they reacts to a SINGLE substrate specifically. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst. In general, each type of enzyme catalyzes only one type of reaction and will operate on only one type of substrate. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR QUESTION. As a consequence, enzymes are highly specific and are able to discriminate between slightly different substrate molecules. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that play an extremely important role in recycling nutrients in the environment. Bacteria break down organic matter into simple compounds like carbon dioxide and water, and they cycle important nutrients such as nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus to better be injected by out plants (Fancy i know)!
An important difference between enzyme-based and bacterial-based products is that the enzymes can't repair themselves or reproduce. While all enzymes have a limited half-life (minutes/days), are biodegradable, and are subject to damage by extremes of pH, temperature, or other enzymes. Living bacteria, however, produce fresh enzymes on a continuous basis and can bounce back following mild environmental insults. Fun stuff, I hope I helped! 😎
