Sphingobacteria are known to be involved in aerobic degradation of plant materials present in soil and complex organic molecules, e.g., starch, proteins, cellulose, and chitin. Other microbes such as green and purple sulfur bacteria participate in carbon cycle by degrading hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) into compounds having carbon during energy production (see in reaction). In rhizosphere different microbes colonize around growing roots, which may either result in symbiotic, neutralistic, or parasitic interactions depending upon nutritional status of soil, soil environment, plant defense mechanism, and the type of microbial proliferation in the rhizosphere zone. Numerous fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes are pathogenic in nature and caused many plant and animal diseases (Tables 3.4 and 3.5). ./cache/cord-024149-qnclsjym.txt ./txt/cord-024149-qnclsjym.txt
