Soil microflora
Algae eg. BGA, yellow gree algae, golden brown algae.
The soil microflora largely depends on the type of soil, temperature, moisture, plant growth,
nutrients, pH, and many other factors which may vary between locations but also within a
single plot and over very small distances (OECD, 2007). Nevertheless of the quantity of
microflora, biomass of all microorganisms living in soil play an important role in the
functioning of entire soil ecosystems because their enormous biochemical activity (Barabasz
et al. 2002).
Soil microflora cycles carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, plays a role in soil structure
formation, decomposition of organic matter, toxin removal, promoting plant growth, and in
changes in vegetation (Canbolat at al. 2005 and Martin et al. 2012). Therefore, soil microflora
plays a major role in preservation and the balance of life. Because of active role of soil micro-
population, the diminution in microbial activity is always alarming (Barabasz et al. 2002).
