Technologically promising microbe association, consisting of aerobic and anaerobic sporulating bacteria has been isolated. The association synthesizes molecular hydrogen during fermentation of potato and starch. The association was isolated from soil, pasteurized on the boiling water bath. The association destroys potato during 5-7 days with a decrease of mass up to 17.4 times and synthesizes gas consisting of 60% of H2.
