Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, and table 1 were made wider
- Very lengthy literature review, be focused on the research scope
A more extensive literature review was conducted in order to focus the research scope. Two fragments have been added to the text of the introduction, which are colored in yellow
- Don't mix results and literature review together
The authors believe that presenting the results and at the same time discussing and comparing them with those reported by other researchers makes the analysis more complete. The authors expect that Reviewer #2 can accept this point of view.
- . Appendix should be at the end of the manuscript or after the reference section
Appendix was changed, now is at the end of the manuscript
- Conclusion of the research results is missing
Conclusion was modified, information about microbial activity was added (colored text).
- The latest of 2019 paper cited, should find research and development on this topic from 2020 to 2022 and cite them in this manuscript
The literature search was expanded and now authors cite some papers published in 2021 and 2022
