- This research has developed the world's fastest processing of organic waste technology to treat organic wastes into organic fertilizers within 3 hours, replacing the traditional two to four months of composting, and widely reported by many media.
- In the present project attempts were made to study the mechanism of organic matter humification mediated by bacteria. Higher amount of laccase was successfully produced by Bacillus subtilis cultivated in spore-forming cultural medium. In the presence of ABTS, the enhancement of lignin humification which was mediated by laccase was also demonstrated.
- We aimed to determine effects of organic matter fertilizers on soil microbiota, tomato growth, and soil properties. Application of 1-2% manure composts can increase the relative abundance of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, promoting tomato growth.
Academician Prof. Chiu-Chung Young founded Tetanti AgriBiotech Inc. to solve traditional Chinese medicine residues, and help industries to turn food and agriculture wastes into composts that was interviewed by Discovery Channel on April 9, 2020.

Unique Technologies : Cutting-Edge Technology-Microorganisms in Circular Agriculture
1.Development of Microbial Species Resource
Establishing Taiwan's microbial species resource database, which had accumulated 2,702 species of microorganisms (including bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi), covering most native species and new discovered species in Taiwan.
2.Innovative Technology for Fast Treatment of Organic Waste
An 1~3-hour fast compost treatment to replace 2~4 months traditional process was developed. Prof. Chiu-Chung Young fundraised NT$300 million to establish Tetanti AgriBiotech Inc. His team had developed new technology to solve organic waste with antibiotics, and also attempted to study the mechanism of organic matter humification mediated by bacteria.
3.Antibiotic Technology to Quickly Eliminate Hazardous Waste
Research team in NCHU developed bacteria residue to treat hazardous waste, and thus realized fertile soil engineering and environmental regeneration.
