Phenotypic Profiling of Selected Cellulolytic Strains to Develop a Crop Residue-Decomposing Bacterial Consortium.

ABSTRACT: Slow decomposition rates of cereal crop residues can lead to agronomic challenges, such as nutrient immobilization, delayed soil warming, and increased pest pressures. In this regard, microbial inoculation with efficient strains offers a viable and eco-friendly solution to accelerating the decomposition process of crop residues. However, this solution often focuses mostly on selecting microorganisms based on the appropriate enzymic capabilities and neglects the metabolic versatility required to utilize both structural and non-structural components of residues. Therefore, this study aimed to address these limitations by assessing the metabolic profiles of five previously identified cellulolytic bacterial strains, including Bacillus pumilus 1G17, Micromonospora chalcea 1G49,
