The Succession of the Cellulolytic Microbial Community from the Soil during Oat Straw Decomposition.

ABSTRACT: The process of straw decomposition is dynamic and is accompanied by the succession of the microbial decomposing community, which is driven by poorly understood interactions between microorganisms. Soil is a complex ecological niche, and the soil microbiome can serve as a source of potentially active cellulolytic microorganisms. Here, we performed an experiment on the de novo colonization of oat straw by the soil microbial community by placing nylon bags with sterilized oat straw in the pots filled with chernozem soil and incubating them for 6 months. The aim was to investigate the changes in decomposer microbiota during this process using conventional sequencing techniques. The bacterial succession during straw decomposition occurred in three phases: the early phase (first month) was chara
