[USCC] Neisseria sicca bacteria in compost?

[Craig Coker]

Colleagues:

 

Is any one aware of any data showing composts to contain bacteria of the
species Neisseria sicca?  I'm trying to research innovative ways to compost
cellulose acetate (CA) and Japanese researchers (Sakai, 1996) found
Neisseria sicca SB and SC to be effective in biodegradation of CA (they
isolated the microorganism from soil).

 

Many thanks!

Craig
