Isolation of native soil microorganisms with potential for breaking down biodegradable plastic mulch films used in agriculture.
Fungi native to agricultural soils that colonized commercially available biodegradable mulch (BDM) films were isolated and assessed for potential to degrade plastics. Typically, when formulations of plastics are known and a source of the feedstock is available, powdered plastic can be suspended in agar-based media and degradation determined by visualization of clearing zones. However, this appr...
متن کاملThe Biogeography of Microbial Communities and Ecosystem Processes: Implications for Soil and Ecosystem Models
We are entering a period of rapid and pronounced environmental change. Understanding how this change will in! uence soil communities is essential for accurate prediction of future climate, biogeochemical cycles, and human well-being. Such reliable prediction is the fundamental test of scienti" c understanding (i.e. can we use knowledge of underlying mechanisms to predict accurately how phenomen...
متن کاملA Review on Impact of E-waste on Soil Microbial Community and Ecosystem Function
The ever increasing pile-up of electronic waste in dumping sites, especially in developing countries such as China, Pakistan, India and several African countries, might have caused a significant alteration in the microbial community of the contaminated sites. This change in the microbial population may have significant impact to the soil ecology function. The major pollutants of electronic wast...

متن کاملThe Impacts of Different Green Manure on Soil Microbial Communities and Crop Health
Green manure could improve soil nutrients and crop production, playing a significant role in sustainable agriculture. However, the impacts of green manure on crop health and the roles soil microbial communities play in the process haven’t been clarified clearly yet. In this study, we investigated soil microbial community composition and structure in four tobacco farmlands, which were treated wi...
