This research examined special enzymes called LPMOs found in bacteria living around decomposing wood in a Vietnamese forest. These enzymes help break down tough plant materials and may play important roles in how bacteria and fungi interact in forest ecosystems. The study provides new insights into natural biomass degradation processes. Impacts on everyday life: – Helps understand how nature recycles plant materials in forests – Could lead to better industrial enzymes for biofuel production – Provides insights for developing more sustainable waste treatment processes – May help develop new antimicrobial strategies – Advances our understanding of complex ecological relationships in nature
