Article Synopsis
- Phosphorus availability is critical for primary production in ecosystems, influencing climate regulation and food security, hence understanding microbial roles in the phosphorus cycle is vital for minimizing reliance on non-renewable sources and reducing pollution from fertilizers.
- Advances in genomics have uncovered a wide variety of genes related to organic phosphorus cycling, revealing how microbes convert immobilized organic phosphorus into usable inorganic phosphate.
- Research into microbial phosphorus cycling not only enhances fundamental scientific knowledge but also presents potential biotechnological applications to improve sustainable food production practices worldwide.
