Abstract |
Odours from animal manure have
been of a significant problem in environmental pollutions. Various ways
of treating livestock manure have been applied in commercial sectors.
Many species of microorganisms are being used but their efficiencies for
odour reduction have not been much satisfactory. In this study,
Pseudomonas sp. is screened from the fermented soybeans, which is
one of the major ingredients of traditional Korea food. Among
livestock manures, pig manure is a major source of environmental
pollutions more than any other livestock manure. The optimum conditions
of culture medium for microorganisms were also studied and found
glucose (anhydride) 1.2% (w/v) plus yeast extract 0.6% (v/v). The
cultivation of the microorganisms of interest in this study was
maximized when cultured for 72 hrs at
28oC, showing pH of 0.6. The effect of
Pseudomonas sp.
on reduction of
NH3 from pig manure
was found highly significant. The strain of
Pseudomonas sp. used was JGJ-1. The
characteristics of JGJ-1 were identified by its
physiological
characteristics as well as its effect on odour reduction from pig
manure.
