Process of bio-conversion of industrial or agricultural cellulose containing organic wastes into a proteinaceous nutrition product
First Claim
1. A process of conversion of low protein, cellulose containing waste into a fodder or fodder supplement, the process comprising the steps of:
- (a) inoculating the waste under aerobic conditions with a first inoculum including at least one first microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates and at least one second microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into proteins to thereby efficiently convert at least a portion of said cellulose into nutritional proteins and prevent accumulation of said carbohydrates and thereby inhibition of said conversion of said cellulose into said carbohydrates; and
(b) inoculating the waste, under anaerobic conditions, with a second inoculum including at least one third microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates and at least one fourth microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into a preservative organic acid to thereby efficiently convert at least a portion of said cellulose into said preservative organic acid and prevent accumulation of carbohydrates and thereby inhibition of said conversion of said cellulose into said carbohydrates.

Abstract
A process of conversion of low protein, cellulose containing waste into a fodder or fodder supplement is provided. The process is effected by (a) inoculating the waste under aerobic conditions with a first inoculum including at least one first microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates and at least one second microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into proteins to thereby efficiently convert at least a portion of the cellulose into nutritional proteins and prevent accumulation of the carbohydrates and thereby inhibition of the conversion of the cellulose into the carbohydrates; and (b) inoculating the waste, under anaerobic conditions, with a second inoculum including at least one third microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates and at least one fourth microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into a preservative organic acid to thereby efficiently convert at least a portion of the cellulose into the preservative organic acid and prevent accumulation of carbohydrates and thereby inhibition of the conversion of the cellulose into the carbohydrates.

23. A starting culture for conversion of low protein, cellulose containing, waste into a high protein fodder or fodder supplement, the starting culture comprising:
-
(a) at least one first microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates under aerobic conditions; (b) at least one second microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into proteins under aerobic conditions; (c) at least one third microorganism capable of converting cellulose into carbohydrates under anaerobic conditions; and (d) at least one fourth microorganism capable of converting carbohydrates into a preservative organic acid under anaerobic conditions. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
