METABOLIC POTENTIAL OF BACTERIA STRAINS ISOLATED FROM POULTRY INDUSTRY WASTE
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2017, Vol 44, Issue 338
Abstract
Microbial composition of poultry industry wastes was very diverse. They are inhabited by microorganisms that use organic substance to their growth. An appropriate composition of microorganisms is very important in the organic matter decomposition rate. Therefore, microorganisms that contribute to decomposition of several compounds are quite desired. The study dealt with the evaluation of metabolic activity of bacterial strains towards lipids, protein, and starch. The strains were isolated from the poultry waste environment. Metabolic potential of bacterial strains was determined based on the activity index and taking into account the hydrolysis zone diameter and colony diameter. Bacterial strains to a different degree decomposed the organic compounds. Their metabolic activity and direction towards substrates depended on the type of isolated bacterial strains.
