CONT

En conditions optimales, le compostage se déroule en trois phases. [...] Dans la phase dite thermophile à 45-60° C (appelée également fermentation active), les micro-organismes décomposent les sucres solubles, les acides organiques et les amidons puis s'attaquent progressivement aux matières plus difficiles à dégrader telles que la cellulose et la lignine.

OBS

La décomposition est [...] assurée par des organismes thermophiles, aérobies, dont des bactéries, des actinomycètes, des champignons et des protozoaires.
