Blog 21: the Significance of Decomposition

The amount of sugar in fruit may effect rate of decomposition and bacteria growth, which in turn could help with compost and waste management. In compost the piles need to decompose and become part of the earth again and if the fruit has more sugar in it, it may do this more quickly.  The decomposition rate of fruit may also relate to bacteria and how they reproduce and grow and the rate in which they do. In general the speed fruit decompose deals in compost and the management of things such as food and ways to determine how quickly it will rot and be non-edible.
