TL;DR: It is proposed that cell wall envelopes of bacteria and fungi are stabilised in soil and contribute significantly to small-particulate SOM formation and the related macromolecular architecture of SOM are consistent with most observations on SOM.

TL;DR: Although its antimicrobial potency is reduced by sorption and aging in soil, ciprofloxacin remains biologically active over time and sorption does not completely eliminate the effects of this compound.

TL;DR: This RNA-SIP study identifies indigenous microbes specifically active in the transformation of a nondefined complex carbon source, bacterial biomass, directly in a soil ecosystem.

TL;DR: This review provides a comprehensive overview about nonextractable residue (NER) formation and attempts to classify the various types and a model to prospectively estimate bioNER formation in soil is proposed.

TL;DR: The reviewed investigations provide new and quantitative evidence that different soil C pools underlie divergent biological constraints of decomposition, and proposes to direct future research explicitly towards such biologically nonpreferred areas where decomposition rates are slow, orwhere decomposition is frequently interrupted, to assess the potential for long-term preservation of C in the soil.
