Degradation and transformation of humic substances by saprotrophic fungi: processes and mechanisms (2007, background): “However, their relative abundance and role during turnover of humic substances are still unclear (Deacon et al. 2006; O’Brien et al. 2005).”
Microbial composition and diversity of an upland red soil under long-term fertilization treatments as revealed by culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches (2008, background): “Some fungi (e.g., saprotrophic) play a major role in carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems ( Deacon et al. 2006 ) and are sensitive to disturbance, pollution, biofertilizers, and herbicides (Weissenhorn and Leyval 1996; Westergaard et al. 2001; Young 2006).”
Production of extracellular enzymes and degradation of biopolymers by saprotrophic microfungi from the upper layers of forest soil (2010, background): “In a study on grassland microfungi, only a few chitin degraders were recorded ( Deacon et al. 2006 ).”
