This statement is incorrect:

"No microbe will effectively reduce salt levels and that is a FACT. No ands ifs or buts about it!!"

Microorganisms dissasociate NaCl. Some need the Na for cellular formation, others need Cl. So they pull this molecule apart and sequester what they need in their biomass.

It is a matter of "dilution", so to speak, because it will depend on the volume of salt we are talking about which will determine the amount of microorganisms necessary to perform this function of reducing the salt index.

Quik and dirty; for a more complete description of this process, go to skool (or library) (at SFI?)! Oh yeah, and remain open to new ideas... there are some really good ones out~
