Composting is a self-heating, aerobic, bio-decomposition process of organic waste that has advantages over other disposal strategies since it reduces volume by 40-50% and kills pathogens the heat generated during thermophilic phase. This uses (food scraps, grass chipping, etc.), water, soil (for added microbes) either incorporation air turning compost (aerobic) or lack within (anaerobic). study...

Corn waste, tithonia and cattle manure are three materials that have different characteristics. These charactersitics differences if used together in the composting process will complement each other potentially produce good compost. This research was conducted to find out how characteristics by utilizing raw with a process. The carried using berkeley method which stacked layered bioreactor. de...

Eleven gram-negative aerobic bacteria (Pseudomonadaceae and Neisseriaceae) out of 122 soil isolates were selected for their ability to assimilate poplar dioxane lignin without a cosubstrate. Dioxane lignin and milled wood lignin degradation rates ranged between 20 and 40% of initial content after 7 days in mineral medium, as determined by a loss of absorbance at 280 nm; 10 strains could degrade...

S-Nitrosothiols (RSNO) occur in vivo and have been proposed as nitric oxide (.NO) storage and transport biomolecules. Still, the biochemical mechanisms by which RSNO release .NO in biological systems are not well defined, and in particular, the interactions between reactive oxygen species and RSNO have not been studied. In this work, we show that xanthine oxidase (XO), in the presence of purine...

Composting is defined as the biological decomposition and stabilization of organic substrates under aerobic conditions to allow the development of thermophilic temperatures. This thermophilic temperature is a result of biologically produced heat. Composting produces the final product which is sufficiently stable for storage and application to land without adverse environmental effects. There ar...
