Biological wastewater treatment efficiency of EM (a mixed culture produced by Sei Kai Kuesei Kyo foundation) was compared with the mixed cultures taken from an oxidation pond treating domestic wastewater for removal nutrients in a domestic wastewater, an artificial sewage, and an artificial starch wastewater. An experiment was conducted in a batch system. it was found that the microorganisms from EM could grow and removed COD, nitrogen compounds, and phosphate in all kinds of the wastewaters. However, its ability was not better than the mixed cultures from the oxidation pond.
