In a single gram of soil there can be billions of bacteria There are an estimated 60000 different bacteria species most which have yet to be even named and each has its own particular roles and capabilities Most live in the top 10cm of soil where or Based on “Sustainable Soil Management” from the National Sustainable Ag.

Actinomycetes is a nontaxonomic term for a group of common soil microorganisms sometimes called "thread or ray bacteria." They are known for decomposing more resistant organic materials such as chitin, a complex sugar found in the outer skeleton of insects and elsewhere. Actinomycetes are simple prokaryotic organisms that are gram positive, have a high G+C base composition, and are mycelium (thread) forming. Nucleic materials (DNA) consist of a helical structure with a sugar backbone attached through the bases adenine – thymine (A+T) and guanine – cytosine (G+C). Compared with the DNA of other organisms, actinomycetes have a high percentage of guanine – cytosine bases. In growth habit, many actinomycetes resemble fungi but are smaller, and terms common to both are used to describe morphological features. The most common genus of actinomycetes in soil is . populations of soil bacteria are low, it is probably because conditions are unfavourable, so any new additions are likely to suffer the same fate.

This video describes soil fungi, which are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that have rigid cell walls and lack chlorophyll. Soil fungi often make up more biomass in soil than any other microbial group. These filamentous organisms are heterotrophic, which means they consume organics as a carbon source.   Fungi can produce abundant hyphae (or threads) that are able to extract nutrients and water from many locations within the soil matrix. Also, fungi are active in decomposing plant residues and animal tissues. The video shows a close-up of fungal hyphae active in decomposing an insect or macrofauna (relatively larger animal). Most fungi that grow on artificial media originate from asexual spores. This group informally is called Fungi . There are many different types of soil and this mainly depends on how much of the different components are there, the climate, how well it is looked after by humans and by the plants, animals and microbes living and growing on and in them..
