Abstract
Abstract The most common crop in India is rice, which is grown on 43 million planted hectares and produces 746 million tones of grain annually. Due to the fact that straw accounts for 50% of the dry weight of the rice plant, a tremendous amount of straw is produced as a byproduct of rice farming each year. We produce 65% of our biomass on land, according to estimates. Lignin is the most prevalent natural polymer of that biomass after cellulose and a significant renewable supply of aromatic carbon on earth. Since lignin, cellulose, and hemicelluloses make up the structural elements of higher land plant vascular tissues, the biodegradation of these elements is a crucial step in the recycling of terrestrial biosynthetic carbon. This study focus on biochemical analysis of decomposition of paddy straw and find out different fungi present in soil after decomposition.
