Man, Arbico Organics is fast! I was looking around the other night for the best price on some more Hygrozyme or an alternative the other night, and went down my usual rabbit hole of “how do I efficiency-max DIY this for the cheapest possible cost”. Looked into getting pure cellulase, there’s a product from East Chem Lab in China called Cellulase 2000 that’s interesting and inexpensive but I can’t find an assay for CFUs or anything so that’s out for me. Sigma-Aldrich and other lab chemical companies make it but I realized that in the end they’re all just concentrating cellulase and other enzymes from the growth of Trichoderma reesei and similar beneficials, so I spent that $50 on bennies and yellow trap/indicator tape instead and I think it was the right choice. Check out this haul of little buggy dudes!
