Use of bacterium of genus
The present invention provides: a method for producing a compost, comprising composting plant-derived organic waste at a weight reduction rate of 95% or more by fermentation treatment, specifically by subjecting the organic waste to fermentation treatment comprising a primary fermentation, which comprises an intermittently agitated fermentation, and a secondary fermentation, which comprises an aerated fermentation, using a microorganism of Bacillus subtilis strain C-3102 (FERM BP-1096) or a mutant strain thereof; the compost produced by the above method; and a method for producing vegetables using the compost.
1. A method for producing a compost, comprising subjecting plant-derived organic waste to a fermentation treatment using a microorganism of Bacillus subtilis strain C-3102 (FERM BP-1096), thereby composting the organic waste at a weight reduction rate of 95% or more.
2. A method for producing a compost, comprising subjecting plant-derived organic waste to a fermentation treatment comprising a primary fermentation, which comprises an intermittently agitated fermentation, and a secondary fermentation, which comprises an aerated fermentation, using a microorganism of Bacillus subtilis strain C-3102 (FERM BP-1096), thereby composting the organic waste at a weight reduction rate of 95% or more.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the organic waste is vegetable waste.
4. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising adding organic waste comprising cereal hull and/or cereal bran in the secondary fermentation.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compost is a material for production of vegetables.
