dc.description.abstract	Current investigations have been carried out to improve the methods of garbage disposal at Margao, Goa. Samples were tested for the presence of microorganisms having different metabolic activities. Organisms capable of degrading carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and also some with phosphate solubilising activity were isolated and then identified. The activity of certain enzymes was determined. Field trials were carried out using microbial inoculants on garbage heaps with a view to convert this garbage into compost. The microorganisms showing optimal enzyme activity were inoculated into heaps and allowed to remain for a month. The conversion of the garbage heaps into compost was monitored by periodic biochemical estimations.	en_US
