Abstract
A thermoacidophilic bacterium was isolated from the compost and designated as Bacillus sp. SJ-15 by physiological and biochemical characteristics. The optimum temperature and pH for growth were at and pH 5.0, respectively. The strain SJ-15 was adapted in process of accelerated high-temperature composting of garbage. The highest viable cell count of composting process reached to in 16 hours. After running times of 100 days, the composting process showed a reduction rate of approximately 88%, and the concentrations of components were sufficiently high or low to satisfied the standard of organic compost except for salinity.
