Bacteria

Bacillus subtilis D2558
This strain was isolated from the intestine of wild Kuruma shrimp. D2558 is a facultative anaerobic bacterium.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D2018

Mode of Action
- Reduction of Nitrite (NO2) and Nitrate acid (NO3)
- Degradation of various organic matters
Experiment Data
(1) Reduction Nitrogen
0.1 gram of ARIAKE KURO was incubated under aerobic or anaerobic condition, at 27℃ in 10 ml test liquid media added ammonia, nitrous acid or nitric acid. Quantitative of nitrogen compounds were measured after 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21 days by HPLC analysis.


(2) Degradation of Organic Matters
Degradation test against organic matters was determined by the agar plate assay for proteolytic activity on skim milk, amylolytic activity on starch. Two strains in ARIAKE KURO were inoculated on each organic matter plates. The clear zone were formed around the areas where the strain had degrade the target-organic matter.
Degradation capability against organic matters by strains in ARIAKE KURO under anaerobic condition.
Safety Precautions
- Store in a cool, dry place, avoid direct sunlight.- Please use in quality assurance period (2 years after month of manufacture).
