NOVELTY - A composition (I) for control of odor production from waste containing fecal matter or urine or their combinations, comprises a viable Pseudomonas sp. which assimilates ammonia at a level of at least 500 ppm ammonia in fecal waste and/or urine to reduce the level to approximately 6% of the 500 ppm in 24 hours to substantially reduce the production of the odor.    USE - (I) or (III) is useful for control of odor production from waste containing fecal matter and/or urine. (II) is useful for degrading waste containing fecal matter and/or urine(claimed). (I) is useful for controlling odors that develop from agricultural waste containing fecal matter and/or urine which accumulates in animal farming, for controlling odor in animal waste storage facilities such as animal waste pits or similar waste holding facilities, lagoon pits, manure pits, for reducing the concentration of ammonia in animal waste, for degrading skatole, manure and reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD), and for removing ammonia from waste water treatment system.    ADVANTAGE - (III) is stable for long periods at room temperature prior to use for controlling odor production from waste. (I) reduces production of offensive odors and enables safe, long term maintenance of animal waste pits and other similar waste storing facilities.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a composition (II) for degrading waste containing fecal matter and/or urine, comprises Pseudomonas sp. PPU 9.0 deposited as NRRL-B-30044 in a mixture with a storage medium;    (2) a Pseudomonas putida PPU 9.0 deposited as NRRL-B-30044; and    (3) an aqueous composition (III) for control of odor production containing fecal matter and/or urine, comprises water, an alkali metal nitrate in an amount between about 0.1-5% by weight of the water and optionally a buffering amount of monoammonium phosphate, and a mixture of viable Pseudomonas sp. which assimilates ammonia at a level of at least 500 ppm ammonia in fecal waste, urine or its combination to reduce a level to approximately 6% of the 500 ppm in 24 hours to substantially reduce the production of the odor.
