Abstract

Microorganisms are essential part of biodiversity and play a significant role in structuring and functioning of the ecosystem on the environment. An attempt was made for vermicomposting of Municipal solid waste (MSW) was mixed with Elephant dung (ED) using Eisenia fetida and Lampito mauritii and analyzed microbial population such as bacterial, fungal and actinomycetes in the vermicompost. In the present examines the high number of microbial populations found in T2 and control than other treatment. This T2 shows suitable medium for microbial population.
