Two novel phosphorus/potassium-degradation bacteria: Bacillus aerophilus SD-1/Bacillus altitudinis SD-3 and their application in two-stage composting of corncob residue.

For effective utilization of corncob residue to realize green circular production, using composting to obtain a high-quality and low-cost biomass fertilizer has become a very important transformation avenue. In this paper, two novel phosphorus/potassium-degradation bacterial strains were isolated from tobacco straw and identified as Bacillus aerophilus SD-1/Bacillus altitudinis SD-3 (abbreviated as SD-1/SD-3). These identified two novel bacteria SD-1/SD-3 show that the soluble phosphorus content of SD-1/SD-3 reached 360.
