Microbial and Metabolic Data from Hyperthermophilic Food Waste Composting

Two 600-kg compost piles were monitored over 30 days to compare hyperthermophilic and conventional composting treatments. The dataset includes six replicates per treatment, measuring humic substances, bacterial communities, and metabolic functions. Author Fan Liu published the data on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare humic substance production based on hyperthermophilic versus conventional composting conditions
• Analyze bacterial community restructuring based on temperature treatment
• Model metabolic function shifts based on hyperthermophilic treatment
• Study the relationship between microbial dynamics and compost maturity

Strengths

• Experimental design includes six replicates per treatment, which likely supports statistical analysis
• Data covers a 30-day composting process with automated turning every 24 hours
• Dataset compares two distinct treatments: hyperthermophilic (constant 30°C) and a control

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
