Tropical urban market crop waste composting in Uganda
Urban market crop waste compost samples were collected during different stages under the systems of above ground-covered, above ground-open, pit-covered and pit-open between February 2007 and April 2008. DNA was extracted in 3% CTAB buffer, amplified using nested PCR and sequenced using 454 - FLX technology targeting the V4 region of the bacterial SSU- rRNA gene.
n a composting study as a management option for urban market crop wastes in Uganda, the population of microorganisms involved in composting were evaluated. The study covered bacteria and fungi. Bacteria were studied by means of pyrosequencing of SSU rDNA and fungi by ITS rDNA.
