When ponds have low oxygen levels they become anaerobic. Anaerobic ponds have low oxygen levels and smell. When microbes are introduced back into the pond they re-aerify the pond, therefore microbes introduce oxygen into the ponds as the clarify it. Through this process they reduce the smell. Essentially, they are eating the substances that are causing smells in your pond.
