Important ecophysiological roles of non-dominant Actinobacteria in plant residue decomposition, especially in less fertile soils

Abstract Background Microbial-driven decomposition of plant residues is integral to carbon sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems.Actinobacteria, one of the most widely distributed bacterial phyla in soils, are known for their ability to degrade plant residues in vitro.However, their in situ importance and specific activity across contrasting ecol

Maximizing multi-reaction dependencies provides more accurate and precise predictions of intracellular fluxes than the principle of parsimony.

Intracellular fluxes represent a joint outcome of cellular transcription and translation and reflect the availability and usage of nutrients from the environment.While approaches Siege from the constraint-based metabolic framework can accurately predict cellular phenotypes, such as growth and exchange rates with the environment, accurate prediction
