Implication

This study demonstrates improved biodegradation of paddy straw by microbial consortia, indicating enhanced nutrient enrichment and enzyme activity during composting.

Key Points

The aim is to enhance paddy straw biodegradation using specific bacterial and fungal isolates.
Isolated four bacteria and three fungi from rice field soil.
Measured degradation rates and total organic carbon reduction.
Conducted FTIR and compost analysis to confirm degradation and nutrient changes.
Assessed enzymatic activities in treated straw.
Achieved highest degradation rate of 11.9% for chopped paddy straw.
Total organic carbon reduced from 51.23% to 35.48% with the B1:F1 consortium.
Notable increases in nitrogen content and higher enzymatic activities including cellulase and alkaline phosphatase.
