Question
We also discussed the role of litter quality. Tell me how one of the chemical components of leaf litter (not of the environment around the litter, but of the litter itself) impacts the rate of decomposition. Again, for this chemical characteristic of the litter, what causes HIGHER decomposition rates.

You grow them in the suggested nutrient-rich media, and you notice that as the log phase growth progresses, the bacteria seem to turn purple. You mention it to your supervisor and ask whether it is the gradient from very high to low nutrient bioavailability that induces metabolic changes which induces the production of a purple pigment. Your supervisor tells you that is unlikely. What is a more…arrow_forward
