One billion (1,000,000,000) is a likely number of bacteria in a working compost pile. There may be 400 to 900 feet (121.91 to 274.32 meters) of fungal hyphae. Protozoa tend to total anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000.

Dehydration helps control bacteria in a great number of ways. Dehydration denies the bacteria the water that they need to survive.
Is bacteria harmful and helpful?
Yes. Your skin has many types of bacteria that are needed to fight off more harmful bacteria. Females have bacteria that help fight off fungal infections. When a bacteria population reaches a certain number it is no longer helpful, and thus considered pathologic

What basic assumption is made if the number of bacteria is determined from the number of colonies?
each colony is representative of one bacterium
What are the organisms in a compost bin?
Bacteria, crickets, fungi, ground beetles, microbes, protozoa, rotifers and worms number among the organisms in compost bins. Bacteria, especially the filamentous kind known as actinomycetes, do much of the decomposition of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables alongside fungi and red wriggler worms. Bacteria-, fungi-, microbe-preying protozoa and rotifers thrive as do weed seed-eating crickets and slug-, spotted cucumber beetle-, squash bug-preying ground beetles.
What is the importance of hygiene in the kitchen?
The importance of hygiene in the kitchen is obvious, number 1: so you don't get bacteria in the food number 2: so you're safe from bacteria and number 3: there is no number three so don't worry about it. :)

Darren!
What can compost do to the number of leaves on a plant?
Increase or respect the anticipated number is the impact of compost upon the number of leaves on a plant. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost serves as a plant-friendly soil amendment, fertilizer or mulch. Its proper application tends to give plants the necessary number of leaves whereas its overuse promotes growth of roots and shoots at the expense of flowering and fruiting.
What is differences between prime number and compost number?
The difference between prime and composite numbers is simple. Prime numbers have only two factors, 1 and itself. Composite numbers are divisible by more than two numbers
Why is general purpose compost good for plants?
It improve the soil. Compost will also increase the number and the activity of good organisms. it also helps with the PH level of the soil.

What is the purpose of green leaves in a compost pile?
The supply of nitrogen- and protein-rich foods for beneficial macro- and micro-organisms to consume is the purpose of green leaves in compost piles. Actinomycetes, mesophilic, psychrophilic and thermophilic bacteria and many- and single-celled fungi number among the green leaf-consuming micro-organisms. Earthworms, feather-winged, ground and rove beetles, millipedes, slugs, snails, sow bugs and springtails number among the green leaf-consuming macro-organisms.
How do you find the number of bacteria?
To know the number of bacteria is impossible but approximate to approximate number can be calculated by using electron microscope. To find the exact number is impossible because bacteria keeps on dividing every 5-10 minutes.
