ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a composition for enhancing the biodegradation of biodegradable organic wastes comprising a combination of organic-waste consuming microorganisms and liposomes wherein the liposomes supply essential nutrients for bacterial growth while concomitantly increasing the polarity and wettability of the waste, thereby increasing their availability for enhanced bacterial interaction therewith and methods for the use thereof.
