Bacteria and Soil Enzymes Supporting the Valorization of Forested Soils

Materials, 2022
To decompose forest biomass, microorganisms use specific enzymes from the class of oxidoreductases and hydrolases, which are produced by bacteria and soil fungi. In post-agricultural forest soils, bacteria adapt more easily to changing ecological conditions than fungi.
