Description
Trichoderma is a type of fungi known for its impressive role in breaking down organic matter. They are commonly found in soil and wood, playing a crucial part in nutrient cycling. Some species in this group are also used in agriculture, acting as natural fertilizers by promoting plant growth and protecting against certain plant diseases. Trichoderma produces enzymes that can degrade a wide range of organic substances, making them valuable in industry for tasks like biofuel production.
