Melbourne, Nov. 1: Believe it or not! Musical notes of 18th century maestro Mozart is now being tested whether it can boost the activity of micro-organisms in breaking down biosolids.
A German company is testing a sound system that replicates the vibrations and sounds of the concert hall which, when combined with oxygen, helps break down sewage, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
It claims the sound waves of Mozart’s The Magic Flute and The Marriage of Figaro, together with oxygen, boost the activity of micro-organisms in breaking down biosolids. “Mozart managed to transpose laws of nature into his music,” a founder of the company, Mr Anton Stucki, was quoted as saying. “It has an effect on people. So why not microbes? After all, they are living things just like us.”
