AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigated how neutral sugars from different lignocellulose wastes (rice straw, leaves, and mushroom dreg) convert during composting.
  • Changes in neutral sugars varied between types of waste but followed similar patterns for specific types of sugars within each waste.
  • The diversity of bacteria influenced these conversion processes, with specific bacteria transforming sugars differently across various compost materials.

Article Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the conversion characteristics of neutral sugars during different lignocellulose wastes composting from rice straw (RS), leaf (L) and mushroom dreg (MD). The results showed that the changes of neutral sugars were different during different wastes composting, but the changes of various hexose or pentose were similar during composting of the same material. The diversity of bacterial community led to different conversion characteristics of neutral sugars. During RS composting, each neutral sugar was transformed by a specific group of bacteria. However, a group of bacteria could transform multiple neutral sugars during MD and L composting. Furthermore, GM/AX value was first applied to composting, which could be used to characterize the conversion of neutral sugars during composting. This will help to provide more efficient recommendations for lignocellulose wastes treatment and accelerating humic substances synthesis during composting.
