Fungal Taxa Target Different Carbon Sources in Forest Soil (2008, methodology): “Fungi are especially successful in the decomposition of a wide variety of complex and recalcitrant plant-derived materials and are thus responsible for the breakdown of a large portion of the carbon stored within terrestrial ecosystems (Kjøller and Struwe 2002; Nannipieri and others 2003).”
Laccases: toward disentangling their diversity and functions in relation to soil organic matter cycling (2010, background): “Among the soil fungi, especially, basidiomycetes are involved in lignin decomposition (Kirk and Farrell 1987; Kjøller and Struwe 2002) as they possess the ability to enzymatically degrade or modify lignin (Martínez et al. 2005).”
Low levels of nitrogen addition stimulate decomposition by boreal forest fungi (2009, background): “If Mortierella is targeting labile contaminants of the commercially obtained lignin, our results would be consistent with the classification of Zygomycetes as r-strategists that grow primarily on simple sugars (Kjøller and Struwe, 2002).”
