Recycling of organic wastes using locally isolated lignocellulolytic strains and sustainable technology

The magnitude and nature of the waste generated across different borders have prompted the need for an appraisal of the conventional method of waste collection and the landfill or incineration that are unsustainable due to their high cost and impact on the environment and public health. This study fo...

description The magnitude and nature of the waste generated across different borders have prompted the need for an appraisal of the conventional method of waste collection and the landfill or incineration that are unsustainable due to their high cost and impact on the environment and public health. This study focuses on the recycling of organic wastes (food waste and yard trimmings) using four isolated fungal strains in an experimental setup that simulates sustainable low-technology treatment for the production compost. Separated food and yard trimmings were composted using Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Lentinus tigrinus, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. in two adopted systems (open and closed) based on a solid-state bioconversion process. The results were obtained at p B 0.05 after ten harvests indicating a pH range of 5.68–8.82, an organic weight loss of 11.92 % and a carbonto-nitrogen (C/N) ratio range of 16.99–18.20 for the open system of the compost.
