Abstract:

In order to accelerate the cellulose degradation of rape straw and improve the composting quality in Qinghai, China, a cellulose degrading strain was isolated from the soil of Beishan, Xining City, Qinghai Province, and was classified as the genus of Pseudomonas sp. Its carboxymethyl cellulase (CMC) activity, exo-β-glucanases activity, and filter paper activity (FPA) were 25.35, 22.33, 20.58 U·mL -1, respectively. The strain was made into a liquid microbial inoculum and applied in a composting test at the rate of 10 mL·kg-1 as the experiment group. Compared with the control group without application of microbial inoculum, the stack of the experiment group heated up quickly and the high temperature lasted longer. At the end of composting, the pH value and electrical conductivity of the experiment group were within a reasonable range, the seed germination index of the experiment group was 90%, which met the maturity standard, the moisture content of the stack dropped to 30% below, and the contents of total nitrogen and organic matter were 1.39% and 49.16%, respectively. Therefore, the isolated strain could be used in the rape straw composting, which could both accelerate the rate and improve the quality of composting in Qinghai.

Key words: cellulose-degrading strain, microbial inoculum, composting
