Metagenomic insights into the development of microbial communities of straw and leaf composts by Anastasiia K. Kimeklis, Anastasiia K. Kimeklis, Grigory V. Gladkov, Olga V. Orlova, Tatiana O. Lisina, Alexey M. Afonin, Alexey M. Afonin, Tatiana S. Aksenova, Arina A. Kichko, Alla L. Lapidus, Evgeny V. Abakumov, Evgeny V. Abakumov, Evgeny E. Andronov

“…IntroductionSoil microbiome is a major source of physiologically active microorganisms, which can be potentially mobilized by adding various nutrients. To study this process, a long-term experiment was conducted on the decomposition of oat straw and leaf litter using soil as a microbial inoculum.MethodsCombined analyses of enzymatic activity and NGS data for 16S rRNA gene amplicon and full metagenome sequencing were applied to study taxonomic, carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy), and polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) composition of microbial communities at different stages of decomposition between substrates.ResultsIn straw degradation, the microbial community demonstrated higher amylase, protease, catalase, and cellulase activities, while peroxidase, invertase, and polyphenol oxidase were more active in leaf litter. …”
