Abstract

Green household waste in general, banana and pomegranate wastes in particular, after their discharge into an aquatic or terrestrial ecosystem, were decomposed by the intervention of several biotic and abiotic factors. To our knowledge this kind of study has never been done before. For this reason we have set as our objective, the staggered in times characterization of mycoflora associated with the decomposition of two types of green household waste separately. During our work, the fungal microbial groups were isolated, purified and identified in MEA medium at a temperature of 28 °C, according to the known standards in environmental microbiology. Microbiological studies over times showed similar fungal densities associated with banana and pomegranate wastes in digestion in both media. In banana waste, microbial biodiversity has been more diverse. Among the species identified are Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. terreus, Alternaria alternata, A. solani, Penicillium chrysogenum, P. cyclopium, P. digitatum and other species. The fungal biodiversity associated with the decomposition of green household waste in natural environments can be exploited for agricultural, medical, and environmental interests.
