SUMMARY Ⅰ. Tittle of the Project Preparation of Culture Media from Agricultural Byproducts for Soil Microbial Inoculants and Encapsulation of the Inoculant Organisms Ⅱ. Objectives of the Research and Development These studies were carried out primarily to develop the relatively simple processes for hydrolysis of natural protein substances, which could be obtained as byproducts of food and dairy industries, and to utilize the hydrolysates and extracts as microbiological medium ingredients to produce the soil inoculant preparations.

Processes for hydrolysis of agricultural byproducts A. Acid-enzymatic processes for hydrolysis of soybean meals, ISP, and pupae were established to produce SM-, ISP-hydrolysates, and Pupae hydrolysates.
The processes consisted of the acid hydrolysis by 0.2 N hydrolchloric acid and the enzymatic hydrolysis by commercial proteolytic enzymes such as Protamex and Flavourzyme. B. Process for malt extracts preparation was developed. The yields were 52.0 and 53.9% of the malt powders. C. The hydrolysates extracts were analyzed for their physicochemical properties such as ph, contents for moisture, nitrogens (T-N, A-N), carbohydrates, ashes and inorganics, and compositions of amino acids. It was found that their properties were similar to those of Difco medium ingredients such as Bacto soytone, peptone and malt extracts. D. Standard test organisms were cultivated in a variety of media, broths and agar plates, which prepared with the hydrolysates and extracts as substitutions for Difco medium ingredients. The levels of growth and colony morphologies of the test strains were similar or superior to those prepared with Difco medium ingredients. 2. Processes for hydrolysis of byproducts from dairy and meat industries A. Enzymatic processes for hydrolysis of milk proteins such as casein and whey were established to produce caseinⅠ,Ⅱ- and wheyⅠ,Ⅱ- hydrolysates. The hydrolysates Ⅰ were those which digested by Protamex and Flavourzyme in combination, and Ⅱ by Pancreatin alone. B. Enzymatic processes for hydrolysis of meats, sirloin and shank, were established to produce Sirloin- and Shank-hydrolysates, employing Protamex and Flavourzyme in combination. Alkali-enzymatic process for hydrolysis of blood meals were established to produce Serum-hydrolysates: the process
consisted of alkali hydrolysis by 1.8 N potassium hydroxide and enzymatic hydrolysis by trpsin. 3. Microencapsulation of the microbial cells A. Three types of microcapsules were prepared by: Sodium alginate-microbe beads were formed in calcium chloride solution, Then the sodium alginate-microbe beads were entrapped in a chitosan layer, Polysaccharide and microbe mixtures were spray-dried. B. Cell viability during the process for microencapsulation of the sodium alginate-microbe beads was not dropped markedly, however the spray dried capsules lost viability 80.1%. C. Shelf life of the sodium alginate-microbe beads entrapped in a chitosan layer was 30 months at 25 in case of limit viability, 1 10 8 c.f.u./g. 4. Granulation of the microbial cells with inorganic materials A. Inorganic materials such as serpentine, sericite, pyrophyllite, rock phosphate and zeolite were tested for the granulation. B. A pilot-scale granulation apparatus with the mixer capacity of 500 kg was designed and constructed. The powdered inorganic materials were mixed thoroughly in the mixer. and then the microbial culture broth, 20% (v/w), was mixed to form a dough. The dough was sent to the primary and secondary granulator to produce the granules. These were dried on wired vats in a convection oven at 45.
C. Shelf life of the granules calculated from the data of vial counts: Those of inorganics-microbe granules were 12 months at 25 in case of limit viability, 1 10 8 c.f.u./g. 5. Field tests for the inorganics-microbe granules A. Field tests were carried out for the zeolite-microbe granules on lettuce, inorganics-microbe granules <L> on jasmin trees, and inorganics-microbe granules <S> on lettuce, according to the regulations for the specifications of fertilizers by ORD (Dec. 31, 2002) were carried out. B. Positive effects on the growth of the lettuce and jasmin trees were recognised, however harmful effects were not found. 6. Economic analysis for production of the media ingradients from agricultural byproducts A. Production costs of Soybean peptone or Soytone, Tryptone or Casitone, Whey hydrolysates, Blood peptone, and Malt extracts were calculated in case of those produced by a batch process. B. The production costs were markedly low as compared to the commercial products. 7. Suggestions for application Many manufacturers of the microbial preparations for agricultural purpose
or feed additives are operated without the microbiologist and the proper equipments. It is considered that a regulation to inspect the commercial products on the shelves of the supplier is necessary, and that the consumer and/or farmer should not purchase the microbial inoculants of unreliable qualities, paying high prices.
