Soil, composed of inorganic and organic materials, supports diverse microbial communities, including bacteria, fungi, yeasts, which play essential roles in compost formation. Composting is a controlled biodegradation process that converts waste into nutrient-rich soil conditioner. This study aimed to compare the diversity density two samples (S1 S2) prepared on campus. Sample S1 consisted poultry waste, vegetable fruit whereas S2 was cow dung. Microbial isolation performed using serial dilution, spread plate, streak plate techniques. A total 23 isolates were obtained, 12 bacterial, 6 fungal, 5 yeast isolates. Bacterial significantly higher compared S2, suggesting potential influence composition proliferation. Identified bacterial genera included Aeromonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, Edwardsiella, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Shigella, Streptococcus sp. Fungal comprised Rhizopus sp., Aspergillus Fusarium Helminthosporium while Saccharomyces, Candida, Cryptococcus. The comparative analysis highlights impact suggests may enhance more than dung-based compost. These findings provide insights contributions stability applications conditioning nutrient solubilization.
