â¢Enriched PSB agent were inoculated into kitchen waste composting in different stages.â¢Organic acids production and TCP solubilization were compared in all treatments.â¢The composition and diversity of bacterial community were analyzed during composting.â¢Inoculation in the cooling stage enhanced the TCP solubilization from 5.8% to 19.5%.â¢A possible mechanism of P-solubilization with enriched PSB inoculation was proposed.
Enriched phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) agent were acquired by domesticated cultivation, and inoculated into kitchen waste composting in different stages. The effect of different treatments on organic acids production, tricalcium phosphate (TCP) solubilization and their relationship with bacterial community were investigated during composting. Our results pointed out that inoculation affected pH, total acidity and the production of oxalic, lactic, citric, succinic, acetic and formic acids. We also found a strong advantage in the solubilization of TCP and phosphorus (P) availability for PSB inoculation especially in the cooling stage. Redundancy analysis and structural equation models demonstrated inoculation by different methods changed the correlation of the bacterial community composition with P fractions as well as organic acids, and strengthened the cooperative function related to P transformation among species during composting. Finally, we proposed a possible mechanism of P solubilization with enriched PSB inoculation, which was induced by bacterial community and organic acids production.
