ABSTRACT:
A device and method for maintaining effective bacterial levels within a collecting container of an organic matter collection system of the type having a collecting container having a bottom and a liquid to air interface-surface is provided. The bacterial incubator comprise: a housing having a first and second interior chamber; an elongated feed tube, connected to the housing, having a passageway terminating at one end in connection with the second interior chamber and terminating at the other end in a feed opening; and a plurality of high surface-area members that are contained within the first interior chamber. The first interior chamber is in fluid connection with both the second interior chamber and the exterior of the housing. The elongated feed tube is of a length sufficient to allow a section thereof containing the feed opening to be positioned above the air to liquid interface-surface of a collecting container. The method comprises the steps of providing a bacterial incubator of the type previously described; positioning the housing beneath interface-surface in a manner such that the housing is supported by the container bottom and a section of the elongated feed tube containing the feed opening extends above the interface-surface; and periodically adding bacterial cultures to the second interior chamber through the feed passageway via the feed opening.
