Commonly Used Microorganisms in Biological Deodorization Boxes
In biological deodorization boxes, the types of microorganisms commonly used include the following:
1. Bacteria
-
Thermophilic Bacteria: These bacteria thrive in high-temperature environments and can rapidly break down organic matter, reducing odors.
-
Lactic Acid Bacteria: These bacteria can inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms and break down organic waste.
-
Bacillus spp.: This type of bacteria has strong degradation capabilities and is often used to break down fats and proteins.
2. Fungi
-
Yeast: Certain yeasts can decompose organic matter and produce odorless byproducts.
-
Molds: Specific types of molds can effectively break down complex organic compounds, reducing odors.
3. Protozoa
-
Nematodes: Some nematodes can help decompose organic matter by promoting the breakdown process in symbiotic relationships with bacteria and fungi.
4. Algae
-
Cyanobacteria: In some cases, cyanobacteria can help purify water and reduce odors in aquatic environments.
Selection Criteria
When selecting microorganisms for biological deodorization boxes, the following factors are typically considered:
-
Degradation Ability: The ability to effectively break down specific odor-causing substances.
-
Adaptability: The ability to survive under specific environmental conditions (such as temperature and humidity).
-
Safety: Being non-harmful to the environment and humans.
By carefully selecting and combining these microorganisms, the effectiveness of biological deodorization boxes can be significantly enhanced.
