Efficacy of Biofertilizers: Challenges to Improve Crop Production (2016, background): “…fungi produce a wide range of oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes that allow them to effi ciently break down organic matter like ligno-cellulosic materials but also other natural or human-derived compounds, like in the fi eld of xenobiotic and organic pollutant degradation (Harms et al. 2011 ).”
