Determination Of Bacteria Community In Takakura Compost Using Conventional Bio-activator

---

"The study delves into the characterization of bacterial communities within Takakura composting.
Takakura composting is a method integral to organic waste management, and serves as the focal point
for understanding microbial dynamics during decomposition. The research aims to make takakura
compost with two different compositions and characterize the bacterial community in the Takakura
composting process. There are 2 samples with organic waste composition used in this research, rice
and leaf waste, dry leaves, and also fruit waste in a ratio of 1: 1: 1 and 1: 1: 2. Through comprehensive
analysis techniques, including microscopy, morphological characterization using gram staining
methods, the study delineates variations in microbial diversity, abundance, and functional roles
associated with the different composition fruit waste compositions. The result shows that Sample B
yields Takakura compost with a higher bacterial count but lower species diversity, hosting 13 bacteria
in contrast to the 15 bacteria found in Sample A. Furthermore, several bacteria types were found in
both compositions of fruit waste, encompassing coccus, diplococci, micrococci, staphylococci,
streptococci, bacilli, diplobacilli, streptobacilli, cocobacilli, as well as club-shaped bacilli. Statistical
tests indicate no significant differences in temperature (p=0.1) and pH (p=0.3) between the
compositions. For future studies, it is recommended to explore fruit compositions with ratios like 1:1:2
and 1:1:4 or 1:1:1 and 1:1:3 to further investigate potential variations. Insights gleaned from this
investigation provide valuable implications for optimizing composting practices, enhancing efficiency,
and promoting sustainable waste management strategies tailored to varying organic waste mixtures.
The findings contribute significantly to comprehending the role of bacterial communities in Takakura
composting, fostering advancements in eco-friendly waste management techniques and the
production of nutrient-rich compost for agricultural and environmental applications."
