The composting process found in real compost heaps was simulated in the laboratory with three treatments, nil, and urea, and cyanamide additions. Total N was separated into hydrolysable, amino acid, and amino sugar N. These fractions were related to counts of viable bacteria and spore-forming bacter

The rise in temperature is an important event during the composting of lignocellulosic materials and has to be controlled and regulated to improve the biodegradation. Phase I mushroom composts were incubated under environmentally controlled conditions. When the temperature was pre-set at 65Β°C and th
The objective of this study was (a) to detect changes of the functional abilities of the microflora during composting of manure as a result of windrow turning frequency and (b) to detect differences between distinct zones within the windrows. Biolog GN microtiter plates containing 95 different carbo
