Studies were carried out to Screen the bacterial compost from spoiled vegetables and fruits and their physiochemical characterization. Samples were collected from local market and super markets in and around Madurai, Tamil nadu, India. Collected samples were processed by using Total Microbial Count, Standard Plate Count and Coli form count. Bacillus spp. and Pseudomonas spp. were dominantly found in both local and super market samples were identified by using Morphological character and Biochemical characters. The dominant isolates such as Bacillus sp and Pseudomonas sp were processed and involved in composting process to determine moisture content, pH, energy sources such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium content. Compost production can be justified for high value crops such as vegetables and fruits.Thier may be potential relationship with biologically very active compound used to suppress the plant diseases.
