Dynamics of the Bacterial Community's Soil During the In-Situ Degradation Process of Waste Chicken Feathers.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria play an important role in the biodegradation of feather waste. The exploration of the related microbial community structure and diversity is essential to improve the performance of feather waste treatment processes. In the present work, an in-situ soil sampled from a poultry farm was directly used to simulate and accelerate the natural degradation processes of feather waste under laboratory conditions, in which the dynamics of the microbial communities was further analyzed by Illumina HiSeq high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Biochemical factors, including pH, feather degradation rate and soluble protein content were also determined in this study. The biochemical results showed that the in-situ soil exhibited an effective degradability on chicken feathers, and the degradatio
