ABSTRACT
Isolation and screening micro-organism capable of degrading raw starch was carried out to obtain the causal organism. A total number of 31 sample of degrading starch was brought and were examined by culturing them on nutrient agar and sabouraud dextrose agar for bacteria and fungi organisms that are causing degrading of raw starch respectively. (2) bacteria organisms and (5) fungi organisms were isolated. The bacteria with their percentages include pseudomonas fragi 56.6% at 17CFU (Colonial Forming Unit), Micrococcus, streptococcus Spp43.3% at 13CFU. While the fungi isolated includes fusarium culmorum, fusarium graminearum, penicillum and Aspergillus. This project work shows that degrading raw starch were contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms.
