Exploration of the Vermiculite-Induced Bacterial Community and Co-Network Successions during Sludge-Waste Mushroom Co-Composting.

ABSTRACT: Vermiculite is a clay mineral with unique physical properties that plays a significant role in plant cultivation, soil remediation, and solid waste management. In this research, we first explored how vermiculite-to-microbe interactions evolved during sludge-waste mushroom residue co-composting. Vermiculite's addition had a substantial impact on the microbial α and β diversities, significantly changed the microbial community pattern, and strengthened the composting nutrient circulation through the formation of more specialist and generalist species. The microbial community characteristics exhibited common co-networks for resisting composting environment stresses. Vermiculite contributed to enhancing the keystone taxa Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota and caused the ecologica
