Abstract
Bacillus is the classic inoculant in rice straw composting. However, there has been no in-depth study of the mechanism promoting the degradation of lignocellulose and the change of indigenous bacterial communities after Bacillus inoculation. Moreover, the stability of bacterial communities is a significant challenge in achieving the efficacy of inoculation. In this study, the ecological succession and yield-resource acquisition-stress tolerance (Y-A-S) framework were combined with Redundancy analysis (RDA) and changes in relative abundance, Bacillus was found to be a pioneer bacterium that adopts a resource acquisition-stress tolerance strategy. The structural equation model (SEM) revealed that in addition to exerting a degradation effect, Bacillus inoculation could also indirectly affect lignocellulose degradation by changing the bacterial community. Random forest model and network analysis indicated a change in bacterial communities after inoculation, and bacteria with more complex relationships and weaker decomposition ability were key to the stability of bacterial communities.
