Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvolution of Microbial Biomasses C and N during the Composting of Municipal solid WastesOlfa Fourti, Naceur Jedidi, Abdennaceur HassenProblem statement: The aim of this study was mainly focused on the evolution of microbial biomasses C and N during the composting of municipal solid wastes. Approach: The carbon and the nitrogen of the microbial biomass (BC and BN) were studied using the fumigation-extraction method. Results: The dynamics of the BC/BN ratio, index of the chemical composition of the whole … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,702 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cocoa Pod Husk Compost Produced Using Rot Fungi on the Growth of Cocoa SeedlingsLaode Asrul, Iradhatullah Rahim, Tutik Kuswinanti et al.Rot fungi have the ability to decompose organic materials into simple compounds or elements as nutrients for plants. In the process, rot fungi produce secondary metabolites and absorb phosphate from their substrates so that the phosphate become available to plants. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of rot fungi isolated from decaying cocoa stems and to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2018 · 8,501 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBrevibacillus Thermoruber 9X-GLC, Bacteria Isolated from Hot Compost, Producer of a Beta-Glucosidase Resistant to Glucose InhibitionAlejandro Sosa-Peinado, María Eugenia Hidalgo-Lara, Miguel Ángel Plascencia-Espinosa et al.The thermotolerant strain Brevibacillus thermoruber 9X-GLC produces large amounts of β-D-glucosidase and cellobiohydrolase when grown on cellobiose and avicel. 9X-GLC was isolated from hot compost of sugarcane bagasse and filter mud and selected for its high enzymatic activity from a Bacilli collection of 77 isolates from soils and compost. Culture supernatants and ultrafiltered concentrates from shaken flask cultures of 9X-GLC … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 20 Oct 2017 · 8,153 accessesView PDF Cite
