The archaeal and bacterial community structure in composted cow manures is defined by the original populations: a shotgun metagenomic approach by Vanessa Romero-Yahuitl, Karla Estephanía Zarco-González, Ana Lilia Toriz-Nava, Mauricio Hernández, Mauricio Hernández, Jesús Bernardino Velázquez-Fernández, Yendi E. Navarro-Noya, Marco Luna-Guido, Luc Dendooven

“…IntroductionOrganic wastes are composted to increase their plant nutritional value, but little is known about how this might alter the bacterial and archaeal community structure and their genes.MethodsCow manure was collected from three local small-scale farmers and composted under controlled conditions, while the bacterial and archaeal communities were determined using shotgun metagenomics at the onset and after 74 days of composting.ResultsThe bacterial, archaeal, methanogen, methanotrophs, methylotroph, and nitrifying community structures and their genes were affected by composting for 74 days, but the original composition of these communities determined the changes. …”
