Abstract: Probiotic compositions that comprise one or more bacteria species in spore form, a thickener to form a stabilized suspension and to preferably act as a prebiotic, one or more acids or salts of acids, and optionally a water activity reducer. A system for delivering probiotic compositions by gravity feed or non-contact pump to a point of consumption by a plant or animal, preferably in conjunction with acidified drinking water, comprising a collapsible container with attachable tubing that prevent contamination of the probiotic composition within the container. Delivery may be actuated in response to a timer, motion detector, fluid level sensor, RFID tag, or other mechanism to periodically or continuously dispense a dosage of probiotic composition directly to the soil surrounding a plant or to the water or feed for an animal. A method for increasing beneficial bacteria in an animal's GIT comprises adding probiotics to acidified drinking water.

Abstract: A system and method for generating an incubated bacteria solution by heating a nutrient germinant composition and bacteria, including at least one species in spore form, to a preferred temperature a range of 35-50° C. for 2-60 minutes using exothermic chemical reaction heat. An incubated bacteria solution is preferably generated at or near a point-of-use in an aquaculture, agriculture, wastewater, or environmental remediation application. The nutrient-germinant composition comprises L-amino acids, optionally D-glucose and/or D-fructose, a buffer, an industrial preservative, and may include bacteria spores (preferably of one or more Bacillus species) or they may be separately combined for incubation. A first chemical contained in a pouch is activated by contact with a second chemical, water, or air in a flameless heater to initiate exothermic reaction to provide incubation heat.
