Description
Ubani and Ngole-Jeme publish in 2026 a dataset following what happens inside composting piles where animal manure is mixed with petroleum refinery sludge to break the waste down. The record tracks microbes, chemistry, and contaminants together over a long trial.
Five treatments, cow, pig, poultry, and horse manures plus an unamended control, ran as controlled microcosms for 300 days. Gene sequencing of the bacterial community catalogued 359 genera across 17 phyla before filtering. Diversity patterns depended on which manure was used, with cow manure giving the richest community. Pig and poultry manures selectively enriched hydrocarbon-eating bacteria such as Pseudomonas. Predicted gene functions pointed to pathways for degrading foreign chemicals and aromatic compounds, and culture tests confirmed a key ring-breaking enzyme gene, supporting real biodegradation potential.
