- Title
Succession in the oak litter microflora in forests at Mesnil-Eglise (Ferage), Belgium.
- Authors
Remacle, J.
- Abstract
Cultures were made of micro-organisms from samples of oak leaves collected from the deep litter of forests at Mesnil-Eglise (Ferage), Belgium. Pseudomonas I was the main proteolytic micro-organism, but many amylolytic ones were isolated. The species composition and the relative frequency of genera in the micro-flora (Fungi, Bacteria) of the oak litter changed from December to June. Different stages in litter decomposition could be characterized by clusters of genera. Pseudomonas was the most widespread nitrogen-fixing microbe, and no Azotobacter was detected.
