Abstract
Two strains of chitinolytic bacteria respectively named "Corynebacterium Bine-A" "Achromobacter Bine-B", which were deposited under deposit numbers FERM BP-2879 and FERM BP-2880 in the Fermentation Research Institute, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Japan. At least one of these strains is incubated on a chitin or chitosan medium, to prepare a culture material, which is usable directly as a solid antibacterial composition or fermented or aged to produce a solid antibacterial composition. Alternatively, water is added to the prepared culture material, and either of the liquid and solid phases may be used as an antibacterial, anti-nematode, and/or plant-cell activating composition.
Claims4
A composition consisting of a highly acidic culture liquid obtained by a process comprising the steps of:
- preparing a culture material by incubating on a culture medium containing chitin or chitosan, a strain selected from the group consisting of Corynebacterium Bine-A, having an accession number FERM BP-2879, Achromobacter Bine-B, having an accession number FERM BP-2880, and a combination thereof;
- adding water to said culture material, to obtain a mixture consisting of a liquid phase containing water-soluble components of said culture material and a solid phase consisting of waterinsoluble components of said culture material;
- and
- separating said liquid phase as said culture liquid from said solid phase.
An antibacterial composition consisting of a solid culture material prepared by (a) incubating on a culture medium containing chitin or chitonan, a strain selected from the group consisting of Corynebacterium Bine-A, having an accession number FERM BP-2879, Achromobacter Bine-B, having an accession number FERM BP-2880, and a combustion thereof and (b) recovering the solid culture material.
A solid antibacterial composition prepared by a process comprising the steps of:
- preparing a solid culture material by incubating on a culture medium containing chitin or chitosan, a strain selected from the group consisting of Corynebacterium Bine-A, having an accession number FERM BP-2879, Achromobacter Bine-B, having an accession number FERM BP-2880, and a combination thereof;
- mixing a phosphorus source and a nitrogen source with said solid culture material;
- aging a mixture of said solid culture material and said phosphorus and nitrogen sources;
- and
- recovering the solid culture material.
A solid antibacterial composition prepared by a process comprising the steps of:
- preparing a solid culture material by incubating on a culture medium containing chitin or chitosan, a strain selected from the group consisting of Corynebacterium Bine-A, having an accession number FERM BP-2879, Achromobacter Bine-B, having an accession number FERM BP-2280,and a combination thereof;
- adding water to said solid culture material to prepare a water- containing culture having a liquid phase and a solid phase;
- separating said solid phase of said water-containing culture from said liquid phase by solid-liquid separation;
- mixing a phosphorus source, a nitrogen source and chitosan with said solid phase;
- and
- aging a mixture of said solid phase, said phosphorus and nitrogen sources and said chitosan.
