(WO9728102-A1)      Compost is produced from putrefactive waste, partic. pasty pulverised and kneaded putrefactive waste, and/or water content of 50-65%, by fermentation with Bacillus sp. GallusX (FERM P-14331). Growth of microorganisms is suppressed at the initial stage of fermentation with elevated temp., partic. at 40-70 deg. C, by pulverisation and kneading, or heating the pasty waste under poor oxygen condition. The treated pasty mixt. is contacted with air to accelerate the growth of surviving microorganisms under poor oxygen and elevated temp., partic. Bacillus sp. GallusX is added prior to process 2). Excreta is treated by the claimed process using Bacillus sp. GallusX (FERM P-14331) at 45-70, pref. 50-60 deg. C under water content of 50-65 %.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   The prodn. of compost using excreta. Economical and easily controlled prodn. of compost excluding facultative anaerobe and bad odours.    In an example, in a tower 1000kg of excreta contg. about 75 % water and 800 kg of compost, made from cattle excreta contg. about 20 % water, were placed to make water content about 56 %, then mixed and kneaded to make pasty mixt. The mixt. was then contacted with air to raise temp. to about 70 deg. C in 4-5 hrs. and allowed to stand for 4 days with daily turnover to give the aimed compost.
