What is the significance of fungi attached to the degradation processes of super absorbent polymers?
Soil fungi exceed other soil organisms including bacteria with respect to the number of species and the total amount of biomass in soil all over the world. Even in arable land, complex fungi communities are present and are mainly involved in the degradation of plant remnants containing lignin like straw, wooden tissues of dead plants, and roots. Nevertheless, compact wood could only be degraded of specialists, the so-called basidiomycetes. The typical location of basidiomycetes is the woodland in general but also in arable land lignin degrading basidiomycetes are present. Lignin is – like Super Absorbent Polymer – a complex structured polymer, which makes them relatively persistent against microbial attack and therefore poorly degradable.
