  • Patent number: 11118158
    Abstract: Provided are a functional microbial material and a method for producing a fermentation product, wherein the functional microbial material and the fermentation product are environment-friendly and improve the quality of crops. The present invention relates to a microbial material and a method for producing a fermentation product wherein the microbial material and the fermentation product are obtained by fermentation of a fermentation raw material including a plant-derived raw material and an animal-derived raw material using a population of microorganisms including a plurality of species of thermophilic microorganisms, and lead to a remedy for soil and water pollution and to the inhibition of greenhouse gas generation, as well as contribute to improvements in the functionality of plants, particularly the expression of genes involved in biophylaxis and resistant to high-temperature disorder, and an increase in antioxidant components.

  • Publication number: 20200147152
    Abstract: The diatheses of animals vary depending on genetic backgrounds of the animals, and the microbial structure of an enterobacterial flora inherent in a host and the behavior of the concentration of a biological molecule sometimes vary depending on the diathesis of the host. In this case, it is needed to administer a proper probiotic. Provided is a microbial preparation for controlling the proportion of the population of bacteria belonging to the division Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes or Proteobacteria or the proportion of the population of bacteria belonging to the genus Clostridium, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium or Bacteroidetes in the enterobacterial florae in an animal body, and for controlling the concentration of a functional molecule contained in a living body, said microbial preparation containing a microorganism P01931 (International Accession No. BP-1931) MK-01A (International Accession No. BP-02066) or MK-03A (International Accession No. BP-02067) or a component of the microorganism.
