Bacteria are living, single cell organisms that inhabit every environment. The bacteria begin to adapt to specific conditions of temperature, pH and waste composition. After a short time each bacterial cell begins to produce enzymes to start the progress of degrading the food source and obtaining its nutrients. Soon the bacteria begin to reproduce rapidly, manufacturing more and more enzymes and degrading more and more organic matter.
The main function of the bacteria is to consume organic waste materials. When the bacteria consume the waste, they convert the waste into safe by products - carbon dioxide and water. When waste materials are very complex, the bacteria actually produce enzymes to break down the complex waste into simple compounds that the bacteria can consume.

Enzymes are not alive so they don't have the capabilities of consuming the waste. They do not have the ability to reproduce more enzymes. Enzymes are complex chemicals produced by bacteria. They speed up chemical reactions without getting used themselves.
Enzymes are not capable of consuming waste materials, such as sludge or ammonia. All that enzymes can do is convert complex wastes into simple wastes. Enzymes alone will not do the job, you still require bacteria to consume the waste material. An enzyme product only has half the power to get the job done right!
Enzyme products shelf life is reduced when mixed with water, whereas Bacteria products will last up to 2 years.
