<p>Starter cultures for the anaerobic biomethanation of a lactose-containing substrate, such as whey, contain live, reproducible cells of Leuconstoc mesenteroides, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Methanosar cinabarkeri, and Methanobacterium formicicum. The starter cultures can be either a defined starter culture consisting essentially of a mixture of substantially pure cultures of the organisms or an adapted sludge starter culture prepared by culturing a sewage digestor sludge containing the organisms on the substrate until the microorganisms have adapted to the environment of the substrate.</p> |
