This work studied the nitrogen transformation and bacterial dynamics in the co-composting of bean dregs (BD) and pig manure (PM). Four treatments were performed with BD at 0% (CK), 5%, 10% and 15% (w/w dry basis of PM) amended for 49-days aerobic compost. Results revealed that the temperature, NH4+-N and pH of end product all met the maturity requirement. The BD-amendment increased nitrogen losses (8.55%-55.92%) during composting compared to CK. However, this amendment also enhanced total nitrogen content (TKN) of end products (1.86%-12%). The highest content of TKN was in 10%BD-amended treatment with relatively lower nitrogen loss compared to 15%BD. Furthermore, the results of 16S rDNA showed that BD-amended changed the bacterial community composition compared with CK. Especially, 10%BD-amended was the optimum in promoting the diversity and abundance of bacteria. Additionally, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Chloroflexi were dominant phyla and Bacilli was dominant class in BD-amended compost.
