Mechanically-aerated compost C/N=30, replicate 2
Samples of raw chicken litter was composted were composted with mechanical turnover. The C:N ratio was adjusted by adding 1 part of wood shavings to 3 parts of raw poultry litter material while thoroughly mixing. DNA was extracted using DNeasy PowerSoil Pro kit (Qiagen)  and library was constructed using the 16S Barcoding Kit 1-24 (SQK-16S024). Sequencing was done on the MinION platform, using R9.4.1 flowcells.
