Popis: The aim of this work was to study the influence of inoculation with microbial inoculants (MI) or mature compost (MC) by comparing the resultant composting efficiency with that in a noninoculated (CK) treatment. MI and MC application both accelerated the composting process according to fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) detection and germination index testing. Bacterial and fungal community composition both differed significantly over the composting period. However, the turnover of the initial bacterial community played a significant role in the composting process, and the key operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of MI (OTU_26, Thermicanus) and MC (OTU_48, Tepidimicrobium) showed significant explanatory power for the formation of humic acid-like and fulvic acid-like substances, respectively, during the stage of composting. Thus, our results indicate that microbial inoculation accelerates the composting process by stimulating key resident microbes in the initial stage.
