Revealing Fungal Diversity in Mesophilic and Thermophilic Habitats of Sewage Sludge Composting by Next-Generation Sequencing

The accumulation of sewage sludge is a severe problem in many countries. Its utilization through composting has the potential to become widely applied technology. From this perspective, our study investigated diversity fungi mesophilic and thermophilic habitats when biosolids, cow manure wheat straw. It was conducted using metagenomic approach next-generation Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencing reveal fungal diversity. We found significantly enhanced microbial activity phase. In contrast, enzyme β-glucosidase 29% higher zone. range α-diversity values more pronounced than based on indices. At class level, were represented by Sordariomycetes—58.7%, Pezizomycetes—15.1% Agaricomycetes—12.3%, while most abundant Sordariomycetes—39.5% Pezizomycetes—9.8%. further clarification genera diversity, it striking that at 37.2 °C, Psathyrella with 35.91%, followed Chaetomidium 20.11%. Among thermophiles, Thielavia Mortierella common. Further research changes over time needed manage metabolic processes obtaining quality soil amendment.
