This project focuses on understanding how soil microorganisms degrade cellulose, a major component of plant carbon. By employing advanced molecular techniques, it aims to identify and quantify the contributions of various bacteria and fungi to cellulose breakdown in different soil environments.
Soils contain the largest pool of carbon on Earth.
Cellulose is a major constituent of this carbon since it is a key component of plant structural carbon.
Members of the bacteria and fungi are essential for degrading cellulose and thus are essential for cycling carbon.
However, the majority of our knowledge on cellulose degradation has been restricted to organisms that we can grow in the laboratory.
The reliance on these growth-based methods to understand soil function can be misleading.
