방선균의 한 종인 Thermoactinomuces sp. CH-53이 퇴비에서 분리되었다. 분리된 이 균은 pH 6.5-9.5, 수분 55-65의 무살균계분에서 왕성히 성장하며, 밀기울 배지에 포자를 충분히 착생시켜 시판의 배합사료에 1 비율로 첨가하여 닭에 급여해서 방선균의 생균수가$10^7-10^8$. cell/g에 도달하는 계분을 얻었으며, 처리 동안 악취성분이 소실되었다. 처리된 계분의 비료효과실험은 pot에서 Brassica rapa var. perviridis의 생육조사에서 다량시용에도 생육저해가 없었으며 질소함량으로 pot당 0.4g에 해당하는 시용구에서 최대생산을 보였다.
A strain of actinomycetes, Thermoactinomyces sp. CH-53, was isolated from manure and composted livestock feces. Actinornycetes-feed additive was prepared with the solid wheat bran medium of Thermoactinomyces sp. CH-53 that grew vigorously on unsterilized poultry feces at $50^{circ}C$. pH 6.5- 9.5 and moisture content of 55-65% and added at a rate of 1% (wtlwt) to the commercially assorted feed to be fed poultry. The excreted feces contained $10^7-10^8$. Thermoactinomyces sp. CH-53 cells per gram. Poultry feces malodour was got rid of during treatment. The effect on plant growth was evaluated on the basis of the amount of nitrogen as fertilizer under a loading of 0.2g N1600g soillpot. A11 samples were showed a promotion effect for plant growth. The treated poultry feces added from O.lg to 0.4g total nitrogen per 600g soil in a pat increased the growth of Brassica rapa var. perui-ridis.
