Abstract
The use of inoculum containing autochthonous compost microorganisms Bacillus subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa allowed to enhance biodegradation of food waste during composting. The survival of the introduced microorganisms was verified by classical microbiological and molecular biological methods. The introduction extended the high-temperature stage by 4 days, prevented acidification of the medium, increased organic matter degradation and moisture evaporation, resulting in a 51% reduction in waste weight in two weeks. Introduced P. aeruginosa appeared to play a key role in the initial stage and was not detected after increasing the temperature to 60C.
