Sulfur-oxidizing bacterial diversity at the surface of cattle manure was characterized throughout the composting process using a sulfur oxidation gene (soxB) clone library approach. In the mesophilic phase, clones related to the genera Hydrogenophaga and Hydrogenophilus were characteristically detected. In the thermophilic phase, clones related to the genera Hydrogenophaga and Thiohalobacter were predominant. In the cooling phase, the predominant soxB sequences were related to the genus Pseudaminobacter and a new sulfur-oxidizing bacterium belonging to the class Alphaproteobacteria. The present study showed changes in the community composition of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria at the surface of compost throughout the composting process.

硫氧化基因soxB分析评价牛粪堆肥表面硫氧化细菌多样性


使用硫氧化基因 (soxB) 克隆库方法对整个堆肥过程中牛粪表面的硫氧化细菌多样性进行了表征。在嗜温阶段，特征性地检测到与 Hydrogenophaga 和 Hydrogenophilus 属相关的克隆。在嗜热阶段，与氢噬菌属和硫盐杆菌属相关的克隆占主导地位。在冷却阶段，主要的 soxB 序列与假氨基杆菌属和属于阿尔法变形菌纲的新硫氧化细菌有关。本研究表明，在整个堆肥过程中，堆肥表面硫氧化细菌的群落组成发生了变化。
