Abstract
CHEMICAL investigations of soil humic acids have indicated their possible components, but have not so far thrown any light on the structures involved in this complex group of compounds1. The use of biodegradation of humic acids as a means of analysing their constituents has attracted the attention of only a few workers2–4. Most studies concerned with the microbial utilization and degradation of humic acids have revealed the susceptibility of their nitrogenous portion to attack; however, the structures of these moieties are defined largely by the carbonaceous fraction.
