Insights into fungal communities in composts revealed by 454-pyrosequencing: Implications for human health and safety.

Fungal community composition in composts of lignocellulosic wastes was assessed via 454-pyrosequencing of ITS1 libraries derived from the three major composting phases. Ascomycota represented most (93%) of the 27,987 fungal sequences. A total of 102 genera, 120 species and 222 operational taxonomic...
