Vermicomposting stands as a sustainable and environmentally friendly waste management practice, leveraging the metabolic prowess of earthworms to facilitate the decomposition of organic matter into nutrient-rich compost. The aim of this experiment was to study the influence of Eisenia fetida on the density and the tropic structure of a nematode community during the vermicomposting process over a period of 3 months. Sewage sludge and green waste served as composting substrates. Overall, six compost variants were prepared consisting of three variants incorporating E. fetida and three control variants lacking E. fetida. Throughout the investigation, samples were gathered on a monthly basis, with each variant undergoing three repetitions. The aim was to isolate nematodes, determine the population density of the five trophic groups, and identify the dominant community. The anaysis was conducted employing both microscopic examination and molecular metabarcoding (NGS). It was shown that the bacterial-feeding community maintained dominance. The introduction of E. fetida into the compost led to a significant rise in the abundance of Diplogasteridae. In the variant without E. fetida, the amount of Diplodasteridae exceeded 0.1% only after the 30th (C3) or the 60th (C1, C2) day of composting, while in the compost with E. fetida, they were present in large amounts (ranging from 11.0% to 28.0%) already on the 30th day of composting. The introduction of Eisenia fetida also led to a notable reduction in H. gingivalis with significant implications for mitigating the risk of halicephalobiosis. The introduction of E. fetida resulted in reducing H. gingivalis to levels below 0.1% in all compost variants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
