Composting of coir pith is a time taken process and to reduce the composting period an appropriate technology should be evolved. The relationship between microorganisms and its enzymatic activities lead for the better under standing of technology to develop microbial consortium for effective composting. In the present study the microorganisms were screened from coir pith which produces enzymes like cellulase, xylanase at higher levels of temperature and pH. The temperature ranging from 40 - 60°C and the pH of 6.0 to 7.0 were found to be favourable for enzyme production. Further the three isolates namely Bacillus sp, pseudomonas fluorescens and Trichoderma reesei were found to be better when compared to other isolates and it also used to make a microbial consortium for effective composting of coir pith
