You have discovered one of the many known secrets of the microbiological world.  Different species of worms have a wide variety of microbes/enzymes that actually do all of the water cleaning. A lot of work has already been done which organic waste can be bioprocessed by which species of worm. because of the past 30 years of success in the US the field is now gathering data with the ultimate goal of every organic compound listed to one or more species.  It may interest you to know that a flat worm from  the pacific ocean was used to clean radiation from nuclear waste water back in the 1970's. The species of microbe used was Archaea.  US military commissioned University of Texas at Austin to do the experiment. Dr Carl H. Oppenheimer Jr. lead scientists.  The same worm cleaning is being done in Peru by the Incas. At least 700 years of experience.  Kudos to all.
