摘要: Recycling organic wastes through vermiculture biotechnology (VBT) is being considered an economically viable solution. Earthworms are regarded as natural bioreactors which proliferate along with other microorganisms and provide required conditions for the biodegradation of wastes. This review examines various dynamics earthworm–microbe relationship emphasis on VBT. Further, it evaluates earthworm biodiversity gut morphology highlights assessment microbes associated skin earthworms, vermicasts vermicompost microbial enzyme activities.
