MINERAL SOLUBILIZING MICROORGANISM INFUSED BIOCHARS

1 . A method for integrating a microbial community with a biochar particle, the method selected from the group consisting of:

while under vacuum, pulling the microbial solution through a treated biochar bed that is resting on a membrane filter;

spraying a microbial solution on top of a treated biochar bed;

lyophilizing a microbial solution and then blending said freeze dried solution with the treated biochar;

again infusing, as defined previously, the treated biochar with a microbial solution;

adding treated biochar to a growth medium, inoculating with the microbe, and incubating to allow the microbe to grow in said biochar containing medium;

infusing, as defined previously, the biochar with a food source and then introducing the substrate infused biochar to a microbe and incubating to allow the microbes to grow;

blending commercially available strains in dry form with treated biochar;

adding the treated biochar to a microbial solution and then centrifuging at a high speed, potentially with a density gradient in order to promote the biochar to spin down with the microbes;

densely packing a column with treated biochar and then gravity flowing a microbial solution through the column and possibly repeating this multiple times; or

adding the microbe to a solution based binder that is well known to enter the treated biochar pores and then adding said solution to the treated biochar.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biochar is sterilized before being infused with the microbial community.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the microbial community comprises a microorganism selected from the group consisting of: Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Burkholderia, Achromobacter, Agrobacterium, Microccocus, Aereobacter, Flavobacterium, Erwinia, Klebsiella , and Enterobacter, Bacillus mucilaginosus, Bacillus edaphicus, Bacillus circulans, Paenibacillus spp., Acidothiobacillus ferrooxidans, Pseudomonas cepacia, Burkholderia cepacia, Klebsiella variicola, Pantoea agglornerans, Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradices, Aspergillus terreus , and Aspergillus niger.
