Bacillus licheniformis
Bacillus licheniformis — High-Enzyme Organic Matter Degrader
Bacillus licheniformis is a strong enzyme producer among Bacillus species, secreting proteases and amylases that drive organic matter breakdown and nutrient cycling. It colonizes the rhizosphere and organic interfaces, supporting compost, manure, and high-OM media improvement.
Mechanisms of Action
Strong Enzyme Output
High production of alkaline protease, amylase, and hemicellulase accelerates macromolecule breakdown.
Organic Degradation
Assists decomposition of manure, straw, and meal residues, improving maturity and nutrient availability.
Rhizosphere Promotion
Colonizes root and organic interfaces, supporting root expansion and uptake.
Microbial Balance
Metabolites help suppress spoilage and nuisance microbes in rhizosphere and compost piles.
Product Specifications
Application Methods
Compost starter: 0.1-0.5% of feedstock, expanded on bran 24-48 h before pile build
Base mix: 500g-1kg per mu with compost and straw, incorporated into soil
Root drench: Dilute 300-500x at transplant or during growth
Media amendment: 1:100-200 into high-organic potting or field media
Application Scenarios
Aerobic composting aid, manure return, vegetables, orchards, field and protected crops — especially high-OM soils and media needing faster breakdown
