Soil microbial adaptation to carbon deprivation: shifts in lignocellulolytic gene profiles following long-term plant exclusion
Together our data show that extracellular lignin degrading enzymes increase under long-term plant exclusion. There is now a need for increased focus on the microbial metabolic mechanisms which regulate the processing and persistence of enzymatically released compounds, particularly in energy limited soils.
