Intensification of composting processes by aerobic microorganisms: A review

  • Published:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Microbiological and biotechnological characteristics of intensification of aerobic processing of organic waste have been reviewed, with a view for revealing two types of correlations: (1) between the quality of the composts obtained and the microorganisms involved in composting and (2) between physicochemical parameters and consumer properties of the composts.
