An analysis of composting based microbial: growth parameter / Ainul Azwanni Ahmad

In the modem world and sophisticated current technology, composting had been a good ways to decompose solid waste. These solid wastes include food wastes, kitchen wastes and garden wastes. Composed materials can be used as a fertilizer to enhance the growth of plant such as vegetable, flower and eve...

Since brown sugar is one of the sources of sucrose, this had affected the result of glucose consumption as the bacteria tend to break the sucrose formation into glucose and fructose.
