I would not assume that there is anything in it that especially promotes bacteria that consume any particular organic, but there may be. OTOH, aquaria also naturally have these bacteria and they will increase in numbers after you begin dosing the organic of your choice. IMO, the enzymes, whatever they are, will have no significant relationship to organic dosing with various organics. So if you dose MB7 and think it useful, then starting organic dosing seems fine. If you are not currently using MB7, I probably wouldn't bother to start.
