[USCC] Neisseria sicca bacteria in compost?

[Nadja]

Dear Craig,
  Is Dr. Elaine Ingham, Soil Food Web International, on your list?  She has been very helpful in the past to me to source answers to unusual questions in what I will call "practical, applied soil microbiology."

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
