Abstract

Composting converts organic agricultural wastes into value-added products, yet the presence of significant non-biodegradable lignocelluloses hinders its efficiency. The introduction of various exogenous microbial agents has been shown to effectively addresses this challenge. In this context, basing on the microbial enzymatic mechanism for lignocellulose degradation, this paper synthesizes the latest research advancements and practical applications of exogenous microbial agents in agricultural waste composting. Given that the effectiveness of lignocellulose degradation is highly dependent on the waste’s inherent characteristics, it is crucial to carefully consider the composition of fungi and bacteria, the dosage of microbial agents, and the composting process operation, tailored to the specific type of agricultural waste. Moreover, the combination of additives with exogenous microbial agents can further enhance the degradation of lignocelluloses and the humification of organic matters. Furthermore, insights into the future research and application trends of exogenous microbial agents in agricultural waste composting was prospected.

利用外源微生物制剂的潜力：加强农业废弃物堆肥中木质纤维素降解的综合综述。

堆肥将有机农业废物转化为增值产品，但大量不可生物降解的木质纤维素的存在阻碍了其效率。各种外源性微生物制剂的引入已被证明可以有效地解决这一挑战。在此背景下，本文从微生物酶解木质纤维素的机理出发，综述了外源微生物制剂在农业废弃物堆肥中的最新研究进展及实际应用。鉴于木质纤维素降解的有效性高度依赖于废物的固有特性，因此，针对特定类型的农业废物，仔细考虑真菌和细菌的组成、微生物剂的剂量和堆肥过程操作至关重要。此外，添加剂与外源微生物剂的组合可以进一步促进木质纤维素的降解和有机质的腐殖化。展望了外源微生物制剂在农业废弃物堆肥中的研究和应用趋势。

期刊介绍： Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts. Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published. Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses emerge.
