METHOD FOR BREAKDOWN TREATMENT OF LAVER WASTE AND MICROORGANISM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for a breakdown treatment of laver wastes using a microorganism of the genera Cellvibrio and Bacillus. SOLUTION: A Cellvibrio ariakeii W2-17B strain which is a Gram-negative long bacillus producing a light green colony pigment and having≥5 mμlength of cells and is a new species of microorganism belonging to the genus Cellvibrio having a breakdown ability for agar, mannan or the laver wastes and a Bacillus sp. W2-17A strain having actions for accelerating the activity of the Cellvibrio ariakeii W2-17B strain are separated. The W2-17B strain has motility and proliferated in a low-saline at 0.5% concentration in freshwater. The W2-17A strain is a Gram-positive short bacillus without producing the colony pigment, has the motility, breaks down the laver wastes and proliferates even in the freshwater environment. The laver wastes are broken down by using the microorganisms. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
