TECHNIQUE
Methods
Equipment
Basidiomycetes or Ascomycetes isolated from the compost
Biowaste sample (fish, meat, fruits, vegetable...) from DM Compost
Green waste (peelings, leaves, flowers, tea bags...) from DM Compost
2. Isolation of fungi from the sample collected
1. Biowaste
3. Identification of isolated strains of interest
4. Characterization of identified strains
5. Semi-industrial scale test at DM Compost
Growth under 3 different culture conditions (20°C, 35°C, 75°C + antibiotic or not)
Growth on 4 different media
Identify the species: Characterization of the phenotype (diameter? appearance? color? secretion in the medium? ...)
Identify the genus: Microscopic observation
at SBIP laboratory
Speed of fungus growth
MARKET
SWOT
Strengths : Naturel product, Bio-inspired, International dimension, Answer to a need for faster garbage treating.
Weaknesses : Only in large scale, depends on the environment.
Opportunities : Law Grenelle, partnership with DM compost, Mentality tend to recycle more and treat garbage.
Threats : Depend of DM compost, Niche market.
PESTLE
Political : Local authority established compost in school, restaurant and public places.
Economic : Funding for formation about compost.
Social : Huge sensibilisation about garbage waste.
Technology :
Legal : Loi Grenelle, ADEME, Loi relative à la transition énergétique pour la croissance verte.
Environnement : Accumulation of waste and garbage. Increasing amount of compost that needs to be treated.
COMPETITORS
Upcycle : Electromagnetic compost based on bacteria digestion, composts in 15 days
Les alchimistes : Company which collect bio-waste and treat it by electromagnetic compost
Love your waste : treat bio-waste only by methanization
Ascomycete
Trichoderma harzianum
Mycopathogene + Mycorhizien

Laboratory equipments for the growth of fungi (culture medium, centrifuge, petri dishes...)
at SBIP laboratory
Quality of enzyme degradation (cellulase or protease activity...)
Substrat affinity (sterilized media)
At 3 different stages of decomposition
Collect Biowaste from DM Compost platform
