Abstract
Fungi are the major degraders of organic matter in natural environments, and almost every naturally occurring organic compound can be degraded by one fungus or another. An enormous range of organic compounds can be utilized by fungi, especially the major organic compounds such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin from compost. The present work aims to isolate and identify fungal isolates from the compost samples. Compost preparation by biodegradable waste using fruit waste, cabbage, tomato, fresh cow dung, leaves, twigs and mixed vegetable waste. The qualitative and quantitative compositions of individual, composts were used for the isolation. Substantially qualitative differences observed in the fungal species of different composts. In this work 4 entities of fungus are isolated at 37°C from compost. It also demonstrates that the quantitative and qualitative characterization of different samples of composts and fungal communities important for best agricultural application.
