a Changes in composting properties during different phases of HTC. S0: initial phase (D0); S1: hyperthermophilic phase (D4 to D9); S2: thermophilic phase (D15 to D21); S3: maturation phase (D27 to D45). Temp: composting temperature; OMDR: organic matter degradation rate; WSC: water-soluble carbon; WSN: water-soluble nitrogen. b Changes in bacterial (upper panel) and viral (lower panel) community composition during different phases of HTC based on D0, D4, D15, and D27 sampling time points. c Changes in bacterial (upper panel) and viral (lower panel) species richness during HTC. d Changes in the relative bacterial (upper panel; phyla level) and predicted viral host taxa abundances during HTC (lower panel; based on metagenome read mapping; n = 12). In (a) and (c), data show mean ± SD with three biological replicates per treatment (n = 3); different lowercase between treatments denotes significant differences at p < 0.05. All datasets are based on metagenomics.
