Nitrogen Transformation Characteristics and Mechanisms of the High-Temperature-Tolerant Heterotrophic Nitrifying Bacterium Aeribacillus pallidus sp. GW-E

With the advancement of global animal husbandry, the substantial accumulation of livestock manure and wastewater has led to serious environmental issues, including water, air, and soil pollution . According to statistics from agricultural departments, China generates 3.8 billion tons of animal waste each year.. However, the comprehensive utilization rate of this manure has not reached 60%, exacerbating environmental pollution. Untreated livestock manure poses significant threats to the growth environments of plants and animals, potentially leading to their death and disruption of the ecological balance. Aerobic composting is a useful technique for managing livestock waste, but it results in the release of a considerable amount of ammonia gas during the process, which contributes to nitrogen loss and environmental contamination.
