Lignocellulose, the most abundant and renewable resource on Earth is an important raw
material, which can be converted into high value products. However, to this end, it needs to …

The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

Delignification, or lignin-modification, facilitates the decomposition of lignocellulose in
woody plant biomass. The extant diversity of lignin-degrading bacteria and fungi is …

Lignin is a major component of lignocellulosic biomass and as such, it is processed in
enormous amounts in the pulp and paper industry worldwide. In such industry it mainly …

Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPBs) are a strong ally for sustainable agriculture. They
offer an interesting alternative to chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Many microorganisms …

Evidence shows that bacteria contribute actively to the decomposition of cellulose and
hemicellulose in forest soil; however, their role in this process is still unclear. Here we …

Although studies examining changes in the structure and diversity of microbial communities
in biological soil crusts (BSCs) have increased, microbial interactions in BSCs are not …

This study investigated the impacts of different bulking agents (ie garden waste, cornstalks,
and spent mushroom substrates) on bacterial structure and functions for gaseous emissions …

Due to accelerating global efforts toward decarbonization, a clean hydrogen (H 2) producing
technology, Microbial Electrolysis Cell (MEC), has garnered considerable attention …

Applications of mineral and organic fertilisers are an important agricultural practice for
improving crop yields, but these applications can also affect soil properties, as well as the …
