Abstract
A method for growing waste degrading microorganisms on site and then adding them to the waste is described. The microorganisms are initially cultivated and concentrated to between about 10,and 10,cells per gram, dried and then placed in bags (,) or other collapsible containers with a dried, growth medium at 10,or more cells per container for shipment to end users. To activate the microorganisms, the bags or other container containing the microorganisms and the medium are filled with water. The microorganisms are allowed to grow for at least about 24 and not more than about 32 hours and at that time the number of bacteria will have increased by one log. The microorganisms and medium are then added to the waste material so that the microorganisms can feed on and degrade the waste.
