Bioconversion of Plant Cellulose-Containing Wastes to the Biomeliorants for Agriculture

Abstract

A bioconversion of plant cellulose-containing wastes (wheat and rice straw and etc.) was developed with cellulolytic bacteria Bacillus cytaseus. The process was carried out by solid state fermentation with oxygen hypossia, including the mixed type fermentation of carbohydrates. The application of a fermented product as a biomeliorant for agriculture is more effective than the traditional use of crop wastes.
