| Abstract | One of the most versatile and remunerative techniques for handling biodegradable solid wastes is composting. Composting refers to aerobic degradation of organic material and is one of the main waste treatment methods used for treating separated organic waste. Microbes play a key role as degraders during the composting-process and microbiology of composting has been studied for decades. Microorganisms participating in the self-heating phase of composting material could be characterized through cultural enumeration of microbe populations on one hand and, on the other hand, by a molecular investigation of the microbial community by restriction enzyme analyses of a clone library of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. It is well known that, with the traditional culture-based methods, only a small fraction (below 1%) of the species in a sample is normally detected. Furthermore, microbes can be mutualistic, symbiotic and parasitic and for these microbes growth conditions are hard to mimic. Use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) have substantially enhanced the charm of the independent methods. The present review reveals the lack of sensitivity and specificity of culture dependent methods and preference of culture independent approach in microbial ecology to study the microbial diversity in a complex process of solid waste composting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
