The process of organic matter degradation is an integral part of the ecosystem cycle, which converts complex organic compounds into simpler forms through the activity of microorganisms. Microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes, play an important role in the decomposition of organic matter, whether from household waste, crop residues, or organic industrial waste. This process involves various biochemical mechanisms, such as hydrolysis, fermentation, and oxidation, which are triggered by exocellular enzymes produced by microbes. Environmental factors, such as pH, temperature, humidity, and oxygen content, affect the efficiency of degradation by microorganisms. Several microorganisms, especially those that have the ability to decompose lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, have been widely applied in organic waste management technologies such as composting, bioremediation, and biogas production. Research on the role of microorganisms in organic matter degradation is not only important for understanding ecosystem dynamics, but also has the potential to support efforts to manage organic waste that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable. This abstract provides a review of the role, mechanisms, and factors that influence organic matter degradation by microorganisms, as well as their applications in environmental technology.

The use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in agriculture is an effective way to improve soil fertility and overall crop productivity. Bacteria such as Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and Azospirillum are able to extract nitrogen from the soil and convert it into a form that can be absorbed by plants, which is essential for the formation of protein, DNA, and RNA in plants. By utilizing the capabilities of these bacteria, the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers can be varied, thereby reducing the detrimental dampening effects on water quality and the environment. In addition, nitrogen-fixing bacteria improve water use efficiency and contribute to the health of aquatic ecosystems. The use of these bacteria has the potential to improve the results of a more thorough analysis with less cost and less environmental impact.

Organic farming has increasingly become a preferred choice in sustainable agricultural systems due to its significant benefits for environmental balance and quality. One of the key elements in organic farming is soil microorganisms, which play a crucial role in enhancing soil fertility and supporting plant health. Soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing microbes, mycorrhiza, and organic matter decomposers, contribute significantly to fertilization efficiency and nutrient availability, as well as improving plant resistance to pathogens. The utilization of soil microorganisms as biofertilizers can reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers, mitigate environmental pollution, and increase agricultural productivity sustainably. Furthermore, soil microorganisms can improve soil structure, extend root longevity, and stimulate plant growth. The selection of appropriate microorganisms according to soil conditions and intended use is essential to maximize their benefits. Therefore, the application of soil fertility-promoting microorganisms as part of sustainable agricultural technology holds great potential to enhance environmentally friendly and efficient agricultural outcomes.

Soil microorganisms play an important role in increasing nutrient availability for maize plants through the processes of nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and humic acid production.

Soil fertility is a key element in the sustainability of agricultural systems that support global food security. One important soil microorganism that plays a role in improving soil fertility is Rhizobium, a bacterium capable of biological nitrogen fixation through a symbiotic relationship with leguminosae plants. This bacterium not only contributes to increasing soil nitrogen availability by 30-50% but also helps reduce dependence on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, which has implications for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of Rhizobium is strongly influenced by environmental conditions such as pH, salinity, and chemical pollutants, which can inhibit its symbiotic ability. Technological innovations, such as nano-based formulations and the development of superior strains, offer solutions to improve the efficiency of Rhizobium, but challenges such as high costs and lack of policy support remain. In addition, the widespread use of Rhizobium inoculants may disrupt the balance of the soil microbial ecosystem, requiring further research. Therefore, integration of technology, policy and farmer education is needed to optimally utilize the full potential of Rhizobium while mitigating environmental risks, to support a more sustainable agricultural system.
