Dynamic changes of bacterial community during the composting of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) as analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis

In this study cultivation-independent approach was performed to characterize and understand the bacterial community dynamics during the oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) composting process. OPEFB was composted in a compost heap of 1m × 1m × 1m. During the process, bacterial community structure...
