Composting of food and yard wastes by locally isolated fungal strains

Four lignocellulolytic fungi isolates, Phanerochaete chrysosporium PC-13 (PC2094), Lentinus tigrinus M609RQY, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium spp. were used as inocula in source separated organics (food and yard trimmings) from solid waste (SW) to produce biofertilizer and stabilize waste const...
