Abstract
Earthworms are a dominant macrofauna in soil ecosystems and have determinative effects on soil fertility and plant growth. These invertebrates feed on ingested material, and gizzard-linked disruption of ingested fungal and bacterial cells is conceived to provide diverse biopolymers in the anoxic alimentary canals of earthworms. Fermentation in the gut is likely important to the utilization of ingested biopolymer-derived compounds by the...
