BIOLOGICAL STABILIZATION AND MINERALIZATION OF ORGANIC KITCHEN WASTE BY MICROBIAL CONSORTIUM

摘要

The present invention provides a novel microbial consortium comprising of four different strains i.e. Salmonella sp. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and two strains of Bacillus sp., for degradation of organic kitchen/food waste. The present invention also provides a method for degradation of organic kitchen/food waste using microbial consortium exhibiting good degradation of the waste. Microorganisms are screened on the basis of their ability to produce enzymes as lipase, protease, amylase and cellulose and microbial consortia capable of degrading organic kitchen waste are prepared using these strains.
