B. Preparation of bacterial consortium
These 35 different enzyme producing bacterial strains
were combined with each other by permutation combination
in order to make different microbial consortia. Table 2
shows that 11 different bacterial consortia were prepared of
which 7 consortia showed the best compatibility when gram
staining was performed. Fong and Tan [ 1 7 ] have also
reported the use of bacterial consortia for degradation of
food wastes.
