Al-Sari' MI, Haritash AK. A multi-criteria approach to test and evaluate the efficiency of two composting systems under two different climates. JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (1995) 2024; 74:540-555. [PMID: 38874908 DOI: 10.1080/10962247.2024.2365707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
The selection of the appropriate composting system, climate conditions, and duration of the composting process are important parameters for municipal solid waste composting. Therefore, this research aimed to design, test, and evaluate two different static composting systems under two different climate regions, Palestine and India, following a multi-criteria approach. A forced-aeration composting system was designed for use in Palestine, and a naturally aerated one was used in India. Three experiments were conducted, two of them in Palestine and one in India. The operational parameters were controlled and monitored during the composting process, while the physio-chemical and biological parameters were tested to evaluate the compost end quality. The results showed that both systems provide good efficiency toward formation of final compost (39-43 days in Palestine, and 31 days in India), and the average materials' volume reduction was almost 60%. The physio-chemical analysis showed that most of the parameters comply with the threshold limits specified by the Palestinian Standards Institution (PSI) and Indian Fertilizer Control Order (FCO) except for minor deviations. Both systems provided a high fertility index (4.3, 4.7, and 4.8), and a high clean index (4.6, 5.0, and 4.7). However, the results of the biological parameters showed that all the experiments met PSI, but none of them met FCO, suggesting that the outer edges of the composting system didn't heat enough to inactivate pathogenic microbes, therefore, developing the system by adding turning option could overcome this shortcoming. It was concluded that the forced aeration system is suitable for Palestine, while the natural aeration system is suitable for India.Implications: Municipal solid waste management is facing technical and financial challenges worldwide due to the increasing generation of solid waste following the population growth. The current improper management of this waste stream through landfilling is adding pressure on the environment as a result of methane emissions and landfill leachate. Therefore, composting of the organic fraction through selection of an appropriate composting system can solve many waste management problems and contribute to environmental sustainability. This research focuses on design, test and evaluate two composting systems in two regions with different climatic conditions, Palestine and India as both are facing waste management problems. The outcome of this research optimized the composting process which can be replicated and scaled up in other countries worldwide with similar climatic conditions.

[PMID: 37586430 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
Phosphorus bioavailability is essential for assessing compost quality. However, the effects of microbial and environmental factors on potentially active phosphorus (H2O-P + NaHCO3-Pi) in factory compost have not been investigated. The findings indicated that chicken manure had significantly higher available phosphorus (AP) and H2O-P + NaHCO3-Pi throughout the composting process than kitchen waste (P < 0.05). Chicken manure compost also exhibited higher α-microbial diversity. Novibacillus, Marinococcaceae and Bacillales were the core bacteria involved in bioavailable phosphorus conversion in both composts. The core bacteria in kitchen waste compost had a broader range of phosphorus metabolism functions. Moreover, moisture and pH were the key environmental factors that significantly influenced the bioavailable phosphorus (P < 0.05). These findings provide a scientific foundation for regulating the composting process and improving phosphorus utilization efficiency.

Abstract
Introduction Soil salinization poses a worldwide challenge that hampers agricultural productivity. Methods Employing high-throughput sequencing technology, we conducted an investigation to examine the impact of compost on the diversity of bacterial communities in saline soils. Our study focused on exploring the diversity of bacterial communities in the inter-root soil of plants following composting and the subsequent addition of compost to saline soils. Results Compared to the initial composting stage, Alpha diversity results showed a greater diversity of bacteria during the rot stage. The germination index reaches 90% and the compost reaches maturity. The main bacterial genera in compost maturation stage are Flavobacterium, Saccharomonospora, Luteimonas and Streptomyces. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria were the dominant phyla in the soil after the addition of compost. The application of compost has increased the abundance of Actinobacteria and Chloroflexi by 7.6 and 6.6%, respectively, but decreased the abundance of Firmicutes from 25.12 to 18.77%. Redundancy analysis revealed that soil factors pH, solid urease, organic matter, and total nitrogen were closely related to bacterial communities. Discussion The addition of compost effectively reduced soil pH and increased soil enzyme activity and organic matter content. An analysis of this study provides theoretical support for compost's use as a saline soil amendment.

Insight into the fate of metal ions in response to the refined classification and transformation order of dissolved organic matter components during municipal solid waste composting. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 223:115468. [PMID: 36781015 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The refined classification and subtle transformation order of dissolved organic matter (DOM) components may govern the fate of metal ions (MIs) during composting. However, the classification of DOM components is still rough and the fate of MIs in response to the refined transformation order of DOM during municipal solid waste composting (MSWC) has not been studied. Here, the refined classification and evolution order of DOM components were redefined by two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) analysis. Eight DOM components were redefined and their evolution order was: tyrosine-like (peak B)>humic acid-like (peak C1>peak C2)>terrestrial humic-like with small molecular size (peak A)>UVA humic-like with medium molecular size (peak D2)>UVC humic-like with medium molecular size (peak D1)>UVA humic-like with large molecular size (peak E2)>UVC humic-like with large molecular size (peak E1). Na and As were releasing in the whole process of DOM transformation. Cu and Al showed strong affinity with humic-like fraction, the anabolism of which leading to storage of Cu and Al in compost. Si, Fe, Mn, Co, Zn, Ni, Sr, Mg and Cr tend to combine with humic-like fraction with small molecular size. These responses were influenced by synergistic effect of key microorganisms (two bacterial groups and three fungal groups), in which the contribution of bacteria was greater than fungus. Finally, partial least-square path models of "environmental factors-key microorganisms-transformation order of DOM-MIs" were constructed. The combination of humic-like fractions continuously produced during MSWC and MIs made compost product with potential environmental risks. It is of great significance to develop abiotic factors regulation approach based on refined classification and transformation of organic components for reducing environmental risks of compost product.

Abstract
Microorganisms play important roles in element transformation and display distinct compositional changes during composting. However, little is known about the linkage between nutrient-cycling functional gene diversity and compost ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). This study performed winter composting with pig manure and fallen leaves and evaluated the distribution patterns and ecological roles of multiple functional genes involved in nutrient cycles. Physicochemical properties and enzyme activities presented large fluctuations during composting. Absolute abundance, composition, and diversity of functional genes participating in carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycles presented distinct dynamic changes. Stronger linkage was found between enzyme activities and temperature than other physicochemical factors, whereas total nitrogen rather than other physicochemical factors displayed closer linkage with functional gene composition and diversity. EMF targeting key nutrient (i.e., carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur) cycles was significantly positively correlated with temperature and notably negatively correlated with functional gene diversity. Enzyme activities rather than functional gene diversity showed a greater potential effect on phosphorus availability. Consequently, the available phosphorus (AP) content increased from initial 0.50 g/kg to final 1.43 g/kg. To our knowledge, this is the first study that deciphered ecological roles of nutrient-cycling functional gene diversity during composting, and the final compost can serve as a potential phosphorus fertilizer.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 442:130047.

Abstract
In this study, the impact of biochar on the degradation of organophosphate esters (OPEs) during the aerobic composting of sewage sludge was investigated. Three treatments were conducted with different percentages of biochar in the compost, including 5 %, 10 %, and 20 %. The treatment with 10 % of biochar showed the longest thermophilic phase compared to that of 5 % and 20 % of biochar, which greatly promoted the decomposition of organic matter. In addition, the degradation rate of the hard-to-degrade chlorinated-OPEs was significantly increased by 10 % biochar, reaching to 57.2 %. Correspondingly, approximately 43.6 % of the total concentration of OPEs (Σ6OPEs) was eliminated in the presence of 10 % of biochar, which was higher than the treatments with 5 % and 20 % of biochar. Biochar significantly influenced the microbial community structure of compost, but the previously reported organophosphorus-degrading bacteria did not play a major role in the degradation of OPEs. The redox ability of the increased oxygen-containing functional groups such as quinone on the surface of biochar and the biochar-mediated electron transfer ability may play an essential role in the degradation of OPEs during the composting process.

Transcriptome Profiling Analysis of Phosphate-Solubilizing Mechanism of Pseudomonas Strain W134. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10101998.

Abstract
Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can alleviate available phosphorus deficiency without causing environmental pollution, unlike chemical phosphate fertilizers. However, the phosphate solubilization mechanisms of PSB are still unclear. Transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the expression patterns of differential expressed genes (DEGs) of the phosphate-solubilizing bacterium W134 under the conditions of soluble phosphorus (group A), insoluble phosphorus (group B), and lacking phosphorus (group C). Nine DEGs in three different groups were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Then, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to detect the concentrations and composition of organic acids. Compared with group A, Gene Ontology (GO) annotation showed that the cluster of W134 DEGs in groups B and C were basically the same. Besides, the results of enrichment Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway indicated that genes in the Citrate cycle (TCA cycle) pathway closely related to organic acid production were significantly upregulated. The qRT-PCR results were almost consistent with the expression trends of the transcriptome data. The HPLC results showed that the formic acid, ascorbic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, and succinic acid concentrations were significantly increased in group B and C (p < 0.05), while the contents of lactic acid and malic acid were significantly increased in group B (p < 0.05). The above results provided further validation that the upregulated genes should be related to W134 secretion of organic acids. Our study revealed several potential candidate genes and tried to explain phosphate solubilization mechanisms. This provides a new insight for calcareous reclaimed soil, and it will reduce the need of chemical phosphate fertilizers to promote environmentally friendly agriculture.

Abstract
Bacterial community is a key factor affecting aerobic composting, and understanding bacterial community succession is important to revealing the mechanism of organic matter degradation. In this study, the succession and metabolic characteristics of bacterial communities were explored in 45 days composting of sheep manure and wheat straw by using high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics tools, respectively. Results showed that the alpha diversity of bacterial community significantly decreased in the thermophilic (T2) phase and then recovered gradually in the bio-oxidative (T3) and the maturation (T4) phases. Bacterial communities varied at different stages, but there were 158 genera in common bacterial species. Unclassified_f_Bacillaceae, Oceanobacillus, Bacillus, Pseudogracilibacillus, and Nocardiopsis were identified as keystone bacterial genera. Eleven genera were significantly correlated (p < 0.05), or even extremely significantly correlated (p < 0.001), with the physicochemical factors. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that changes of bacterial community diversity correlated with physicochemical factors. The highest relative abundances were amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism among the metabolic groups in the compost. These results will provide theoretical support for further optimizing sheep manure composting conditions and improving the quality of organic fertilizers.

Abstract
Plant-associated microbes play important roles in plant health and disease. Mortierella is often found in the plant rhizosphere, and its possible functions are not well known, especially in medical plants. Mortierella alpina isolated from ginseng soil was used to investigate its effects on plant disease. The promoting properties and interactions with rhizospheric microorganisms were investigated in a medium. Further, a pot experiment was conducted to explore its effects on ginseng root rot disease. Physicochemical properties, high-throughput sequencing, network co-occurrence, distance-based redundancy analysis (db-RDA), and correlation analysis were used to evaluate their effects on the root rot pathogen. The results showed that Mortierella alpina YW25 had a high indoleacetic acid production capacity, and the maximum yield was 141.37 mg/L at 4 days. The growth of M. alpina YW25 was inhibited by some probiotics (Bacillus, Streptomyces, Brevibacterium, Trichoderma, etc.) and potential pathogens (Cladosporium, Aspergillus, etc.), but it did not show sensitivity to the soil-borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. Pot experiments showed that M. alpina could significantly alleviate the diseases caused by F. oxysporum, and increased the available nitrogen and phosphorus content in rhizosphere soil. In addition, it enhanced the activities of soil sucrase and acid phosphatase. High-throughput results showed that the inoculation of M. alpina with F. oxysporum changed the microbial community structure of ginseng, stimulated the plant to recruit more plant growth-promoting bacteria, and constructed a more stable microbial network of ginseng root. In this study, we found and proved the potential of M. alpina as a biocontrol agent against F. oxysporum, providing a new idea for controlling soil-borne diseases of ginseng by regulating rhizosphere microorganisms.

Abstract
Available information that whether antibiotics affect the succession in microbial communities during aerobic composting remains limited. Thus, this work investigated the dynamic changes in bacterial and fungal structures during aerobic composting amended with tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH: 0, 50, 150 and 300 mg kg-1). Composting phases significantly affected bacterial and fungal communities, but only fungi strongly responded to antibiotics, while bacteria did not. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota and Actinobacteriota were primary bacterial phylum. Neocallimastigomycota was dominant fungal phylum at temperature-heating phase, then Basidiomycota and Ascomycota became main fungal phylum at thermophilic and temperature-colling phases. Low TCH concentration promoted Chytridiomycota growth, while high TCH concentration inhibited mostly fungal activity in TCH-amended composting. Nitrogen species were critical factors controlling the succession in bacterial and fungal communities during composting process. These results cast a new light on understanding about microbial function during aerobic composting.

[PMID: 34839958 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.114144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find an economical and effective amendment for improving composting performance and product quality, as well as to analyze the microbial community succession in the whole phase of composting. Therefore, the effect of reusable amendment bamboo sphere on composting performance and microbial community succession during food waste composting was investigated. The results showed that 6% bamboo sphere treatment had the highest degree of polymerization (3.7) and humification index (0.18). Compared with control, 6% bamboo sphere amendment increased total nitrogen (TN), phosphorus (TP) and potassium (TK) contents by 13.61%, 19% and 17.42%, respectively. Furthermore, bamboo sphere enhanced bacterial-fungal diversity and improved microbial community composition by enhancing the relative abundance of thermo-tolerance and lignocellulolytic bacteria and fungi. The five most abundant genera in bamboo sphere composting comprised Bacillus (0-71.47%), Chloroplast-norank (0-47.17%), Pusillimonas (0-33.24%), Acinetobacter (0-27.98%) and unclassified Sphingobacteriaceae (0-22.62%). Linear discriminant analysis effect size showed that Firmicutes, Thermoascaceae and Actinobacteriota, which have a relationship with the decomposition of soluble organic matter and lignocellulose, were significantly enriched in bamboo sphere treatment. Canonical correspondence analysis illustrated that total organic carbon (TOC), TK, and TP were the most important environmental factors on microbial community succession in the two composting systems. Together these results suggest that bamboo sphere as a reusable amendment can shorten maturity period, improve humification degree, increase the contents of nutrient and contribute to the succession of microbial community during food waste composting. These findings provide a theoretical basis for improving the efficiency of food waste composting.

Abstract
Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can alleviate available phosphorus (AP)-deficiency without causing environmental pollution like chemical phosphate fertilizers. However, the research and application of PSB on the barren rocky soil is very rare. We screened six PSB from sweetpotato rhizosphere rocky soil. Among them, Ochrobactrum haematophilum FP12 showed the highest P-solubilizing ability of 1,085.00 mg/L at 7 days, which was higher than that of the most reported PSB. The assembled genome of PSB FP12 was 4.92 Mb with P-solubilizing and plant growth-promoting genes. In an AP-deficient environment, according to transcriptome and metabolomics analysis, PSB FP12 upregulated genes involved in gluconic acid synthesis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and increased the concentration of gluconic acid and malic acid, which would result in the enhanced P-solubilizing ability. Moreover, a series of experiments in the laboratory and field confirmed the efficient role of the screened PSB on significantly increasing AP in the barren rocky soil and promoting sweetpotato yield. So, in this study, we screened highly efficient PSB, especially suitable for the barren rocky soil, and explored the P-solubilizing mechanism. The research will reduce the demand for chemical phosphate fertilizers and promote the environment-friendly agricultural development.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 195:110682.

Abstract
Bioavailability of phosphorus (P) has close relationship with the microbial community in sediments and plays an important role in the sedimentary P release. However, little is known about the relationship between P bioavailability and microbial community under capping conditions. A 62-day experiment was conducted by capping with modified calcium peroxide ceramsite (MCPC) at different addition dosages (from 1:1 to 1:4, the ratio of mobile P in sediment to MCPC). P disappearance and release were expressed by the dissolved inorganic P (DIP) in overlying water. The results show that the proportion of disappeared P in released P was reduced sharply from 44% (Control) to 2% (1:4) under the capping with MCPC. Under the capping, the concentrations of DIP and Fe(Ⅱ) in pore water decreased markedly compared with the control, the removal up to 71.6% and 59.3% (mean, P < 0.05), respectively. The bioavailable P (BAP) presented the obvious decline under the capping with MCPC, which indicates the inhibition on the algae growth. The algae available P (AAP), water soluble P (WSP) and readily desorbable P (RDP) were reduced obviously at the 1:2 ratio compared with the other ratios. On the contrary, the biggest increase of Olsen-P in sediment was at the 1:2 ratio. This may be the explanation why the disappearance of DIP in the pore water was found. The result of microbial community structures in sediment shows that the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Nitrospirae increased under the MCPC capping. It is analyzed that the microbial diversity is related negatively with the BAP in the sediments under the capping with MCPC, suggesting that microbial diversity is the key to control the BAP.

Abstract
Root-associated microbiomes play significant roles in plant productivity, health and ecological services. However, our current understanding of the microbial assemblages in the rhizosphere and endosphere of herbage is still limited. To gain insights into these microbial assemblages, Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was performed to investigate the characteristics of microbial communities of an herbage, Leymus chinensis. Hierarchical clustering analysis and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) results showed that microbial communities of the rhizosphere and endosphere samples were clearly distinguished. Rhizosphere soil communities showed a greater sensitivity than root endosphere communities using linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe). Rhizosphere and endosphere communities performed their respective functions in the soil as a cohesive collective, and Rhizobiales were observed to function as generalists. Redundancy analysis (RDA) and variance partitioning analysis (VPA) results revealed that the contribution of the interaction between soil physicochemical parameters and soil enzymes was greater than their individual contributions. In summary, this study is the first to elucidate the microbial diversity and community structure of L. chinensis and compare the diversity and composition between rhizospheric and endosphere microbiomes.

Abstract
The influence of pig manure biochar amendment (PMBA) during the pig manure (PM) and wheat straw (WS) composting was evaluated. Five concentration of PMBA (0%, 2%, 4%, 6% and10%) were applied to explore the bacterial distributions in PM compost by 16SDNA amplicons sequencing. The results showed that the addition of 6% PMBA could significantly enhanced the bacterial community abundance compared with other composts, while control has relative less bacterial population (332 OTU). The visualization of phylogenetic tree and krona demonstrated the distinctive distribution of each composts, suggested that biochar dosages have an influence on bacterial communities' variation during co-composting. Beta-diversity of distance matrix heat-map and principal component analysis confirmed that bacterial communities were considerably correlated with increasing PMBA. Redundancy also confirmed the similarity and discrepancy among all treatments and environmental factors. This work considered as the potential of PMBA as a booster in composting, where T4 has most plentiful bacterial community and diversity.

Abstract
Humic acids (HAs) can function as electron mediators for contaminants transformation in different environments. The humus respiration can facilitate pentachlorophenol (PCP) dechlorination during different biowastes composting. However, different characteristics of synthetic pathways of redox functional groups within HAs during different biowastes composting have never been characterized. Herein, we assessed the synthetic pathways of redox functional groups within HAs from protein-, lignocellulose-, and lignin-rich composts that facilitated the microbially reductive dechlorination of PCP, respectively. The results show that the aromatic systems are the major electron-accepting moieties of HAs and function as electron shuttles to facilitate the PCP dechlorination. Amino acid and reducing sugar are the major precursors for the synthesis of redox functional groups within HAs in protein-rich composts, and polyphenols and amino acids are discerned as the significant components to synthesize redox functional groups of HAs in lignocellulose- and lignin-rich composts. Seven groups of bacterial communities based on relationships among remarkable precursors, key bacterial communities, and redox functional groups within HAs are classified as participants in the precursors' catabolism and aromatic system' anabolism. Furthermore, the significant environmental factors on the synthetic pathways of redox functional groups within HAs in composting are confirmed by structural equation models. Conclusively, the regulating methods for promoting PCP dechlorination by HAs during different biowastes composting are proposed. Our results can help in understanding the distinct formative mechanisms of redox functional groups within HAs during different biowastes composting, providing insights into a classification-oriented approach for recycling utilization of different biowastes.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal ion in pig manure impacting on the ecosystem, and hence the immobilization of Cd by green synthesis of iron nanoparticles (G-nFe) is a potential approach. In this study, transformation of Cd (II) during the pig manure thermophilic aerobic composting process in the presence of G-nFe was investigated. The results show that the addition of G-nFe promoted the composting process and release of available phosphorus (AP). In all six experiments, obvious passivation of Cd occurred during 15 days' composting. Particularly when 500 mL kg-1 of G-nFe was added and Cd (II) was added at 0.6%(w/w%), residual Cd increased from 0.0016% to 55.70% and exchangeable Cd decreased from 98.54% to 7.21%. Batch experiments revealed that the G-nFe promoted the transformation of Cd into a larger passivation fraction. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM-Mapping and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis was used to characterize residual samples, where indicated that the passivation of Cd in compost was highly correlated with the increase of P, it can be concluded that fixing with compost resulted in the formation of Cd phosphate precipitation or co-precipitation with other phosphates.

Abstract
This study determined the physicochemical changes and bacterial community succession in the pig manure composting process with microbial inoculant. Microbial inoculant could prolong the thermophilic stage by 2 days and increased the germination index (GI). Analysis with 16S rDNA showed that the Chao1 and Shannon indices increased at the thermophilic stage in the treatment (T), while those of the control (C) decreased. Microbial inoculant increased the relative abundance of Flavobacterium and Solibacillus in 4-12 and 12-24 days, respectively. Acinetobacter was reduced at 4-12 days. The key physicochemical factors affecting microbial successions were revealed by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and correlation analysis. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfse) analysis showed that there were 78 biomarkers, while in piles T and C, there were 35 and 43 biomarkers, respectively. These results indicated the addition of microbial inoculant improved the maturity and fertility, as well as significantly regulating the microbial community structure.

Abstract
Poultry litter (PL) is widely used as fertilizer because of its rich N, P and Ca content. When PL is applied to previously untreated soil, it is a potential contaminant. Composting is an alternative for stabilizing organic and mineral components. This study aimed to elucidate the structural changes and its influence on the solubility of heavy metals in poultry litter during the first 30 d of composting, which is the period when the most intense transformations occur. For this analysis, the transformation dynamics of the organic structures and the availability of mineral elements were studied via spectroscopic characterization, total heavy metal content determination and chemical fractionation at three composting times (0, 15, and 30 d). During composting, the material's aromaticity increased, while its aliphaticity decreased, and the hydrophobicity index increased as the polarity decreased. These results indicate that during the first 30 d, PL composting occurs via transformation of the most labile structures (carbohydrate, peptide and fatty acid fragments), thereby preserving the most stable and least functionalized structures. Composting increased the concentrations of Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn and the transformation of CAlk-O and CAlk-di-O associated with peptides and carbohydrates and favored solubilizing and leaching a water-soluble fraction rich in these compounds. The labile fractions of Fe and the humified organic matter fractions of Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Al increased. The structural changes reduced heavy metal solubility, thus indicating that after 30 d of composting, the heavy metal contamination risk is low.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the roles of bacteria in degrading protein and carbohydrate during chicken and bovine manures composting. The results showed that protein and carbohydrate degraded greatly, especially during the thermophilic phase of composting. This was mainly caused by the abundant bacteria communities that related with protein and carbohydrate transformation in the thermophilic phase, which identified by the network analysis. Besides, the microbial degradation of nutrient substances performed specificity and universality. "Specificity" and "Universality" meant protein and carbohydrate degraded by certain bacteria and diverse groups of bacteria, respectively. "Specific" bacteria transformed protein and carbohydrate during chicken manure composting, whereas the transformation characteristic of bacteria to protein and carbohydrate in bovine manure was "universality". Structural equation models also verified these results, and they showed that more than 79% of protein and carbohydrate changes were transformed by bacteria.
