Survival Rates of Microbial Communities from Livestock Waste to Soils: A Comparison between Compost and Digestate

Table 2

Bacterial gene abundance included in original soils in each pot and livestock waste-based products applied to each pot.

	Soil	Digestate	Wheat straw compost	Woodchip compost
Bacterial gene abundance (copies·g^−1)	2.07 × 10^13	4.26 × 10^12	2.64 × 10^14	1.71 × 10^14
Applied weight (g·pot^−1)	11,600	196	294	294
Applied bacterial gene abundance (copies·pot^−1)	2.40 × 10^17	8.35 × 10^14	7.75 × 10^16	5.04 × 10^16
