Ammonia release from hydrolysed animal and food waste by the hop endophyte, Pantoea agglomerans.

ABSTRACT: The food industry and agriculture produce large amounts of waste that can be used in many upcycling applications. An interesting solution may be to return the necessary nutrients for plants to the soil and improve plant growth at the same time by using waste from animal production and food processing as a substrate for endophytic bacteria. Endophytic bacteria that naturally colonize plants can help plants absorb nutrients and may produce substances that promote plant growth. Animal waste (feathers, chicken or fish scraps) and spent brewer's yeast rich in protein were hydrolysed into a mixture of soluble peptides and amino acids. The hydrolysates were used for the release of ammonium ions by the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans DBM 3797, isolated from hops. The release of ammonium ions is a re
