Composting of Agricultural Wastes by Non-Ammonia Forming Deodorant Microorganisms
Chapter
Abstract
Non-ammonia forming deodorant microorganisms were isolated, one of which was identified as Corynebacterium sp. B88. Five kg of pig feces were treated with the strain without evolution of ammonia and other odorous components. The total nitrogen of the feces treated with the strain was retained about 90%, whereas only 20% was kept when treated with the mixed seed culture. The strain had less deaminase and urease activity than ammonia forming microorganisms. Furthermore, the strain had a high activity of glutamic acid dehydrogenase.
