Lignin degradation and nutrient cycling by white rot fungi under the influence of pesticides

Effects of biological pre-treatment of lignocellulosic waste with white-rot fungi on the stimulation of 14C-phenanthrene catabolism in soils

“…Other enzymes, such as the extracellular hydrolases (βglucosidases and phosphatases) are also secreted by WRF and are known as bio-indicators of soil health, function and quality (Adetunji et al, 2017). These enzymes are involved in biogeochemical cycling of carbon (β-glucosidases) and phosphorus (phosphatases) owing to enzymatic break down of organic matter and nutrient mineralisation in soil (Wali et al, 2020).…”
