Composting of food and yard wastes by locally isolated fungal strains

Three lignocellulolytic isolates of filamentous fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium PC-13 (PC2094), Lentinus Tigrinus M609RQY (IMI 398363), Aspergilus niger and Penicillium spp. were used as inocula in combination with source separated organics (Food and Yard trimmings) from Institutional Solid Waste...
