Functional response of soil microbial communities to tillage, cover crops and nitrogen fertilization (2016, background): “Carbohydrates are also known for maintaining and stimulating soil microbial activities in the rhizosphere and detritusphere (Guinina and Kuzyakov, 2015).”
Microbial extracellular polysaccharide production and aggregate stability controlled by Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) root biomass and soil water potential (2019, methodology): “We found this ratio to be consistently above the accepted cutoff of 2.00 in our samples (average of 3.92 ± 0.25), indicating EPS had a likely microbial origin (Chenu, 1995; Gunina and Kuzyakov, 2015; Oades, 1984).”
Turnover of microbial groups and cell components in soil: 13 C analysis of cellular biomarkers (2017, background): “, 2007), due to its diverse origin: from cellulose decomposition, presence in rhizodeposition (Derrien et al., 2004; Gunina and Kuzyakov, 2015), and synthesis by microorganisms.”
