Can I use deioned water to prepare my PolySeed NX solution?
No. The PolySeed NX solution must be prepared with BOD/nutrient water only. The BOD/nutrient water is used for ionic balance. The chemical balance inside each microbial cell in the PolySeed NX must be equal to the chemical balance in the water surrounding the cell. If the microbes in PolySeed NX were rehydrated in deionized water, the differential pressure between the water phase outside and inside the cells will cause the cells to lyse (explode/tear) within a few minutes.
