Description

A MIXED MICROBIAL POPULATION DESIGNATED AS JSB 98.0 CAPABLE OF DEGRADING FECAL MATERIAL OF ANIMALS
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a mixed microbial population, a method intended primarily for the biodegradation of fecal material of animals by using it, particularly a biodegradation purification method, and the use of the treated waste water as a liquid manure for plants.
BACKGROUND ART
The present invention is directed to the mixture of microorganisms capable of decomposing livestock and poultry waste materials, including human feces into materials which are more environmentally acceptable and thereby also eliminating odors associated with the decay of them by contacting said materials with said microorganisms, preferably microorganisms in aqueous solution.
The amounts of waste materials discharged into bodies of water around the world are rising steadily. Increases in population, the dependence of agriculture on massive amounts of fertilizers and pesticides, expansion of the food industry, and growth of other industrial processes all contribute to the volume of sewage and wastewater and to their content of undesirable substances. Most organic waste materials may be degraded by biological treatment. This treatment utilizes the functions of microorganisms to degrade the harmful substances to make them harmless to the environment. The use of microorganisms for the treatment of waste water is an economical alternative to physical treatment systems since biological treatment involves lower capital investment, lower energy requirements, a self-sustaining operation, and finally possibility for product recovery. The biological process may be achieved aerobically or anaerobically in a number of ways. The most widely used aerobic processes are activated sludge processes and their modifications for both domestic and industrial wastewaters. The process consists of aerating and agitating the effluent in the presence of a flocculated suspension of microorganisms on particulated organic water-the activated sludge and thereby gives BOD or COD reduction depending on the nature of the wastewater. In the aerobic phase of the treatment process, a mixed microbial population degrades the complex mixture of organic compounds in liguid waste to carbonate, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, and sulfate. Major studies on microorganisms which decompose organic sewage and offensive odorous substance are conducted on the sewage treatment by activating sludge method. In recent years, animal industries become specialized and large scale. It is well known that there exists a great abundance of livestock feedlot and poultry excreta which pollutes not only the streams and livers with toxic compounds and pathogenic microorganisms but also the air with offensive odors. Disposal of the excreta is a serious problem which has confronted in various ways but which never has been satisfactorily solved. Countermeasures therefore are strongly needed to prevent the escalation of environmental pollution caused by excreta and recover the polluted environment by them. There is an approach to purify the polluted environment utilizing microorganisms of degradation ability. But, none of the presently known bacteria can satisfy the practical requirements and also high degradation performance when used for microbial excreta degradation.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

At present, in accordance with the present invention, a mixed microbial population isolated from pig houses and designated as JSB 98.0 which consists of 5 active strains having the powerful capacity to decompose fecal waste materials is disclosed. It can be used in the activated sludge process for sewage treatment as powerful agents.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mixed microbial popupation designated as JSB 98.0 having the powerful ability to degrade and deodorize livestock and poultry waste materials, including human feces.
