To accelerate the composting process, a novel marine bacterium, identified as a Halomonas species may help, researchers say. Partial DNA analysis helped identify the active species isolated from the seaweeds in Awaji Island, Japan, and that the bacteria grows well even at high salt (sodium chloride) concentrations and can reduce the total organic components, including pollutant content, of the seaweed significantly within a week.
The study has been published in the International Journal of Biotechnology.
