The company making Bio Bact sent me a report from a Swedish university about the micro organisms in the product.
It contains:
Fungi: Penicillum brevi-compactum, Aspergillus versicolor
Yeast fungi: Rhodotorula graminis, Saccharomyces kluvyveri
Bacteria: Bacillus sphaericus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Micrococcus luteus

It says that "All identified species are well known and frequently occurring in fertile soils, where they contribute to transform organic substances to humus. None of the species are hazardous to plants, animals or humans."

Quick googling indicated that the first two bacteria could be benefitial to plants. The fungis are molds and the first one was listed on some plant study to have positive effects on tomato fruit yield.

I guess this is safe to try with MycoGrow.
