Detailed explanation-1: -Filamentous bacteria are important in forming stable foam. The growth rate of these bacteria was not significantly affected by a pH range of 6.7-8.0, and only slightly decreased in population at pH 8.4. The optimum temperature of Microthrix parvicella, associated with foaming, was reported to be around 25°C.
Detailed explanation-2: -Actinomycetes. The Actinomycetes are a group of unicellular filamentous bacteria that form a branching network of filaments and produce spores.
Detailed explanation-3: -To access these nutrients, plants are dependent on the growth of soil microbes such as bacteria and fungi, which possess the metabolic machinery to depolymerize and mineralize organic forms of N, P, and S.
Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. The filamentous growth form is an important strategy for soil microbes to bridge air-filled pores in unsaturated soils. In particular, fungi perform better than bacteria in soils during drought, a property that has been ascribed to the hyphal growth form of fungi.
