Abstract
Summary The decomposition of various cellulose substrates by Trichoderma sp. strain G, grown on either degraded chernozem soil or loamy sand soil, was investigated. The cellulose substrates could be arranged according to the proliferation and the cellulolytic activity of Trichoderma in the following descending order: filter paper, cotton fibers, wheat straw. The type of soil markedly affected the decomposition of the various cellulose substrates. In the degraded chernozem soil the decomposition of cellulose substrates was 78, 66, and 40 per cent of the initial mass, while in the loamy sand soil the degradation of cellulose substrates was 72, 58, and 32 per cent of the initial mass in the case of filter paper, cotton fibers, and wheat straw, respectively, after 90 days.
