Composition and method for stimulation of bacteria

Abstract

Composition for stimulation of .[.aerobic.]. bacteria in sewage or in soil from combination of B vitamins and an agent derived from digestion of milch cow excrement; and method of treating sewage or soil to stimulate the growth of .[.aerobic.]. bacteria to improve the condition of sewage for disposal or availability of soil nutrients for plant growth by addition of the composition to sewage or soil.

Having described my invention, what I claim is: 
     
       1. A composition for addition to sewage or soil to stimulate the growth of .[.aerobic.]. bacteria comprising the product of combining (1) the liquid product of a first digestion of milch cow excrement under mild acid conditions and further digestion of liquid portions from the first digestion by the action of algae and solar radiation, (2) at least 0.02% by weight of each of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin based on the weight of said liquid digestion product to activate a.[.n aerobic.]. bacteria-stimulating action and (3) at least 0.4% by weight of magnesium chloride. 
     
     
       2. A composition as defined in claim 1 in which said composition comprises from 0.02% to about 0.15% by weight of each of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin based on the weight of said liquid digestion product. 
     
     
       3. A method for the treatment .[.for sewage to stimulate the growth of aerobic bacteria.]. .Iadd.of sewage to stimulate the growth of bacteria .Iaddend.comprising mixing with said sewage at least about 40 ppm. based on the weight of said sewage of a treating agent comprising the product of combining (1) the liquid product of a first digestion of milch cow excrement with yeast under mild acid conditions and further digestion of liquid portions from the first digestion by the action of algae and solar radiation, (2) at least 0.02% by weight of each of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin based on the weight of said liquid digestion product .Iadd.to activate bacteria-stimulating action .Iaddend..[.to activate .[.aerobic.]. bacteria-stimulating action and (3) at least 0.4% by weight of magnesium chloride. 
     
     
       4. A method for the treatment of sewage as defined in claim 3, wherein the resultant mixture is exposed to sunlight. 
     
     
       5. A method for the treatment of sewage as defined in claim 4, in which said digestion product is combined with from about 0.02% to about 0.15% by weight of each of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin based on the weight of said digestion product. 
     
     
       6. A method for the treatment of soil .[.to stimulate the growth of aerobic bacteria.]. .Iadd.to stimulate the growth of bacteria .Iaddend.comprising applying to the soil at least about 10 gallons per acre of soil of a treating agent comprising the product of combining (1) the liquid product of a first digestion of milch cow excrement with yeast under mild acid conditions and further digestion of liquid portions from the first digestion by the action of algae and solar radiation, (2) at least 0.02% by weight of each of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin based on the weight of said liquid digestion product to activate .[.aerobic.]. bacteria-stimulating action and (3) at least 0.4% by weight of magnesium chloride. 
     
     
       7. A method for the treatment of soil as defined in claim 6, in which said digestion product is combined with from about 0.02% to about 0.15% by weight of each of thiamin, riboflavin and niacin based on the weight of said digestion product.
