Abstract

Bio-compost, widely used to produce natural organic fertilizers, is a mixture of decayed organic materials. Bio-compost can be found in a warm, moist, aerobic and anaerobic environment. The proper use of bio-compost in the agricultural fields is required for beneficial growth of plants, which is needed for humans as well as environment. Previous studies demonstrated a high number of bacteria, which could be detrimental to the environment. The present study was designed to determine the fungal status. Fifteen samples from different sites were assessed. Results showed that Aspergillus sp., Saccharomyces sp., Candida. sp. and different types of yeasts and molds predominated in all samples. All the isolates were observed under light microscope and biochemical test was performed for further identification.
