Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effect of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) Bacillus inoculation in the cooling stage on hydroxyapatite dissolution, phosphorus (P) forms transformation, and bacterial P cycling genes in food waste composting with hydroxyapatite. Results indicated that PSB inoculation promoted the dissolution of hydroxyapatite, increased P availability of compost by 8.1% and decreased the ratio of organic P to inorganic P by 10.2% based on sequential fractionation and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Illumina sequencing indicated Bacillus relative abundance after inoculation increased up to one time higher than control after the cooling stage. Network analysis and metabolic function of bacterial community analysis suggested inorganic P solubilizing genes of Bacillus and organic P mineralization genes of other genera were improved after inoculation in the core module. Therefore, bioaugmentation of PSB in the cooling stage may be a potential way to improve P bioavailability of bone and food waste in composting.
