Detailed explanation-1: -Decomposers are basically microorganisms that feed on dead organic matters. They range from bacteria to fungi. They secrete enzymes to break down large organic matter such as starch, protein, fats and other materials that are present in living organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi are the only major organism that can break down or significantly modify lignin. They’re also much better at breaking down cellulose than most other organisms. In fact, fungi are even better at it than people and the machines we’ve developed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most fungi have the complete enzymatic system (Endoglucanases, Cellobiohydrolases, B-glucosidases, and Xylanases) to degrade this complex cellulosic material for nutrition [123].
