Application of bioconverted low rank coal for biofertiliser production

For study the use of product from coal microbial processing, Low Yang Lignite (Victoria Australia) was used. The product in solubilized form was mixed with a crushed,milled green waste (wood bark and leaves). The mixture was sterilized, later innoculated with microorganisms that has agricultural benefits, and incubated in small shaking flasks at similar to 26C. The coal bioconversion product increased the microbial counts of the biofertiliser very obviously. This result demonstrates a very feasible way to utilise coal bioconversion product in agriculture.
