볏짚의 혐기분해(嫌氣分解)에 관여(關與)하는 섬유소분해균(分解菌)과 메탄생성균상(生成菌相) 및 그 분해(分解) 생성물(生成物)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)

This study was conducted to find out the behavior of anaerobic microorganisms and anaerobic decomposition products of rice straw in the strict anaerobic condition. The number of methanogenic bacteria were more isolated than cellulolytic bacteria from the digester decaying rice straw during the entire incubation time. The activity of anaerobic microorganisms, such as methanogens and cellulolytics, were high the early incubation time in the treatment of rice straw with urea, but without urea was low at that time and increased moderately after 10 days incubation. Volatile fatty acid as intermediate anaerobic decomposition products had a longer retention time and higher accumulation rate in the treatment of rice straw without urea than with urea, and predominant fatty acid was propionic acid. Gas generation rate as final products were very intimate relationship with the activity of methanogenic bacteria. Average Eh value was -250mV during the incubation time and $CH_4$ : $CO_2$ percent ratio was about 60~65 : 35~40 in this Eh value. Decomposition rate of rice straw calculated from $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ gas wars 45.6% for 50 days in the treatment of rice straw with urea, and 36.8% without urea.

절대(絶對) 혐기조건(嫌氣條件)에서 볏짚의 분해작용(分解作用)에 관여(關與)하는 혐기미생물(嫌氣微生物)과 그 분해생성물(分解生成物)들의 행동(行動)을 구명코져 시험(試驗)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 전(全) 시험기간(試驗期間)동안 처리(處理)에 관계없이 메탄생성균수(生成菌數)가 섬유소분해균수(分解菌數)보다 많았다. 2. 혐기미생물(嫌氣微生物)의 활성(活性)은 볏짚+요소구(尿素區)에서 항온초기(恒溫初期)에 높았던 반면 볏짚단용구(單用區)는 초기(初期)에 감소(減少)되었다가 항온 10日 이후부터 다시 증가(增加)되었다. 3. 중간분해산물(中間分解産物)인 휘발성지방산(揮發性脂肪酸)은 볏짚+요소구(尿素區)보다 볏짚단용구(單用區)에서 그 생성양(生成量)이 높았고 체재기간(滯在期間)도 더 길었으며 이들중 propionic acid함양(含量)이 가장 높았다. 4. 최종분해산물(最終分解産物)인 가스의 발생양(發生量)은 메탄생성균(生成菌)의 활성(活性)과 대단히 밀접(密接)한 관련을 갖고 있었다. 5. 항온기간(恒溫期間)중 액(液)중의 평균 Eh값은 -250mV이었고 이때 $CH_4$:$CO_2$의 %비(比)는 약 60~65 : 35~40이었다. 6. $CH_4$와 $CO_2$ 가스로부터 환산(換算)한 유기물(有機物)의 분해률(分解率)은 볏짚+요소구(尿素區)가 50일(日)동안 45.6%이었으며 볏짚단용구(單用區)는 36.8%이었다.
