Addition of Chicken Litter Compost Changes Bacteriobiome in Fallow Soil
Journal: Applied Microbiology
Year: 2024

Composting is an environmentally friendly process, turning animal waste into fertilizer. Chicken litter compost (CLC) improves soil properties, increasing crop yields. However, the CLC effect on the soil microbiome is understudied. This study aimed to compare bacteriobiome diversity in fallow arable Chernozem with and without CLC addition in a field experiment in the Novosibirsk region, Russia, using 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding. Pseudomonadota, Actinomycetota and Acidobacteriota were the most OT
