A Review on Enzymes and Substrate Colonization by Microflora
Journal Title: Bio-Science Research Bulletin - Year 2018, Vol 34, Issue 1
Abstract
The analyses of plant litter revealed that generally cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are the major constituents, being a part of structural framework. Therefore, carbohydrate biochemistry is likely to be the key factor in ecology. The pectic substances though constitute a little amount, are also important because these act as cementing material. It can be expected that the decomposition of a substrate by a fungus or a fungal community depends upon their capacity to produce enzymes which can degrade cell wall constituents of the substrates. Good enzyme-producing equipment as one of the important characteristic contributing towards successful colonization of a dead organic substrate by the fungi because of invasion of plant tissue by a fungus. The important characteristic is the rate at which it can penetrate successive cell walls in a cellular tissue.
