Microorganisms from Antarctica are being utilized as a part of bio-toilets created by the Defence Research Development Organization.

Defence Minister said in a composed answer that the microscopic organisms from Antarctica was utilized as a part of anaerobic microbial consortium that is utilized for seeding (immunization) bio-digesters.

The consortium is made out of microorganisms having a place with four gatherings, which work in successive way. The Antarctic microscopic organisms which are frosty dynamic (work in wide temperature run) constitute the initial two gatherings, i.e., hydrolytic and acidogenic.

Dairy animals fertilizer, being plentifully accessible requiring little to no effort, has been utilized for increase of microbes utilized as a part of the bio-digester.

When dairy animals fertilizer is devoured by the microscopic organisms and changed over into a shape that does not have any fly attractant property yet rather reduce them, the last microbes which nourished into the bio-digester don't have any upsetting smell and escape inside few days.

Created by Gwalior-based Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE) and Tezpur-based Defense Research Laboratory (DRL), both labs of DRDO, the bio-toilets, affectionately known as 'E-loo', utilize anaerobic microbial microscopic organisms to decay and change over natural human excreta into usable water and gasses.
