The effect of cellulose decomposition bacteria, DO and temperature on carbon release was explored with straw used as
carbon source. The results showed that the carbon release of straw could be maintained 4 mg/d above after the fifth day of the trial, and the maximal value was up to 8.4 mg/d with cellulose decomposing bacteria under the condition of 30℃ and lack of oxygen, while it was only 4.1 mg/d without cellulose decomposing bacteria under the same conditions. The higher DO was, the less amount of carbon release would be at the temperature of 30℃ with cellulose decomposing bacteria. The relationship between the temperature and the amount of carbon release showed as followed: 30℃>20℃>10℃. |
