Organic wastes,
food wastes and trimming yard (FW and YT) were composted using selected fungal
strains (Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PC), Lentinus tigrinus (LT), Aspergilus
niger (ASP) and Penicillium Spp (PEN)) in a solid state bioconversion process.
Results obtained
at P ≤ 0.05 after ten harvests indicated the minimum value of germination index
(GI) in the open system was 43 ± 105% while in the closed system it was 46 ±
132% respectively.
The simplest zero
and first order kinetic models
described the microbial mineralization
of carbon to nitrogen (C/N) relatively (R2 range of 0.87-0.99), but the second order model
explained the observed kinetics of the solid state bioconversion (SSB) better
with R2 range of 0.87–0.98 and a positive decay coefficient
