Question

Name the bacterias and fungi involved in decomposition of domestic waste

Answer 1

Organic matter is broken down into carbon dioxide and the mineral forms of nutrients like nitrogen. It is also converted into fungi and bacteria through these organisms feeding on the organic material and reproducing. Scientists call the organisms that decompose organic matter decomposers, saprobes or saprotrophs.

Microorganisms In A Compost Pile

Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes account for most of the decomposition that takes place in a pile. ...

Of all these organisms, aerobic bacteria are the most important decomposers.

A number of factors affect the rate of decomposition of organic matter: climate, substrate quality, and soil type. As a general rule, simpler compounds decompose more quickly than more complex compounds and decomposition is slower in climatic extremes.
