INTRODUCTION Composting is an effective way of decomposing organic solid wastes to more stable and profitable materials However, traditional composting method wholly relies on its initial microbial community, problems such as relatively long retention time, odor emissions and poor compost quality may come out. To improve the above pitfalls, various specialized seed inoculums have been applied. Sometimes, high concentration of indigenous microorganisms can inhibit the prevalence of inoculated ones Thus, an inoculation method that can effectively control the indigenous cell concentration is highly desired. The inoculated microbial populations and community compositions would keep evolving incessantly, leading to variations among different composting stages To well understand inoculation composting process, it is necessary to divide the composting processes into multiple stages However, most of the existing systems seldom considered the various stages of inoculation composting processes. This leads to difficulties in determining the efficiency of inoculation. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to develop a new inoculation method to enhance the efficiency of composting process, by controlling the indigenous cell concentration and making the remaining solids more amenable to biological attack. In addition, this research also aims at the development of a more optimum method for estimating the inoculation efficiency. MATERIALS AND METHODS Municipal soild waste (MSW) from a typical community in Beijing were collected, sorted and mixed directly with sawdust without drying. The organics content was around 60%. The moisture contents of the initial waste mixtures of all tests were adjusted to around 55% by introducing water or bulking agent to the mixture. The carbon to nitrogen ratio was around 24:1. Composting reactor system The methods for outlet gas analysis include: CO2 concentration was analyzed by CO2 analyzer (Model LX-71
