i am trying to reduce the efforts of making jeevamrit time and again. jeevamrit is a microbial solution prepared using cow dung, cow urine, jaggery, bengalgram powder, fistful of virgin soil and water. once i prepare this, can i introduce few ml from this solution to a new solution having just water, jaggery and bengalgram powder? will i get the same set of microbes? the logic behind this is - while preparing there are certain foods (chickpea powder, urine, jaggery) and inoculum (dung and fistful of virgin soil). hence, when i put the microbes on the food, they should multiply. this is my notion. pl correct if i am wrong. looking forward for your responses.
Hello
Introducing small part of inoculum to new solution will have same set of bacteria but not for long time. As the nutrition source and other conditions will change, a high number of microorganisms will not grow or multiply, only those who find new solution suitable will grow and divide. So with passage of time microbial community will change.
Thank you Arvind ji for the response. however, i am trying to use the same set of nutrient sources. still will it change?
its a raw thing , first we have to look what types of microbes grow in jeevamrit then you have to see whether the same set of organisms grow in your culture. There are also many nonculturable microbes in the gut, cow dung and urine of an organism...
Thank you Durga prasad panigrahi ji. the first part of identifying the organisms was over. there are different views. one view says when the food materials are the same, the same set of microbes would develop. the other says, few may develop and new set would develop. if any one has observed or experimented, their views are welcome
