ABSTRACT:
A method of treating human and/or animal waste products comprising contacting the waste products with an effective amount ofFusarium culmorumandMuscodor albus, together with a buffering agent and starch. The treatment process covered by the present invention can be employed in connection with pit toilets, portal a toilets, disposable waste bags, or any other environment in which the treatment of human and/or animal wastes is desired. Both theFusarium culmorumand theMuscodor albuscan be stored on infested seed grains, including, but not limited to, barley, rye, rice, wheat, mustard and grass. A method or preparingFusarium culmorumfor use in the treatment of human and/or animal wastes. An isolated culture ofFusarium culmorum. A composition comprising the same four elements used in the treatment process. A method for controlling the pH of a mixture of human liquid and sold wastes.
