Cottonseed hull waste compost associated with high and low yields of Volvariella volvacea
The contribution of the microbes that affect the success of mushroom production by providing high biological efficiency is useful for improving productivity. Therefore, in this study, comparisons of associated bacterial and fungal community profiles and functional analyses of genes involved in composting under two different composting conditions (high (HBE) and low (LBE) biological efficiency conditions) were performed. 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA sequencing technology and functional predictions were used to analyze the microbial communities and their associated functions in the two com-posting conditions.
