- There is an abundance of biopolymers like proteins, fats, fibers and other carbohydrates in natural soils.
- Bacteria in soil digest these large biopolymers to respective smaller monomers.
- Proteins are digested to amino acids,
- carbohydrates and fiber to sugars and
- fats/lipids to fatty acids by the soil bacteria. - Plants can easily absorb these small molecules or monomers.
- Additionally, the soil-bacteria help the plant-roots to absorb Major and minor nutrients present in the soils.
- The soil-bacteria also release biochemicals which accelerate the plant growth.
