Bacillus aryabhattai TFG5-mediated synthesis of humic substances from coir pith wastes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Humic substances (HS) form the largest proportion among all the constituents of soil organic matter and are a key component of the terrestrial ecosystem. HS plays a multifunctional role in the environment by controlling the biogeochemical carbon cycle, providing nutrients and bio-stimulants for plant growth, and interacting with inorganic and organic pollutants. The rate of formation of HS in soils determines its productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. Enhancement of HS synthesis in the soil through the microbial route not only increases CO₂ sequestration but also mitigates the greenhouse gas emissions in the environment.

Result

In this study, we attempted to understand the mechanism of formation and enhancement of HS from coir pith wastes using
