One day, man learned how to make the bread grow up. And his life took a large step in terms of quality. Then, he tried to ferment grape juice. And he tasted the delight of the wine. There was no scientific explanation, but he was using services of microorganisms that sustain life in the planet.
Millenniums later, with advancement of chemistry, he learned how to fight the microbes that transmitted diseases and plagues, with antibiotics, disinfectants and poisons increasingly more powerful. Biocides inventions that soon evidenced their negative side, with environmental unbalancing, death of water and soil. On the 60’s, due to the already severe issues with natural environment degrading, scientists focused into another direction, researching, reproducing and increasing the power of the media created by nature itself for its own self-preservation. That’s how the bio-enhancement technique was created – literally “life enhancement” – a new word that translates a new perspective of the world.
