Xylose as a carbon source

This process was field-tested on 2470 L of coumaphos cattle-dip waste at the APHIS vats In Laredo, Texas. To overcome the need to deliver an extremely large number of Flavobacterlum cells to the site, the organisms were added as a 1% Inoculum (22.8 L of culture grown In nutrient broth plus xylose) along with 9.5 kg of xylose as a carbon source and 4.5 kg of ammonium sulfate fertilizer as a nitrogen source. In order to allow growth of the organisms In the waste. The pH of the material In the tank was adjusted to between 6.8 and 7.0 by the addition of 1.4 kg of monobasic potassium phosphate and 1.8 kg of...
