| description | Tropical peat swamp serves as the global pool of terrestrial organic carbon which
mostly in the form of lignin, the major constituent of plant materials. The South-East
Pahang Peat Swamp Forest (SEPPSF) that lies in Pekan district is believed to be
mainland Asia’s largest and least disturbed peat swamp forest. The ecology and the
biodiversity of this environment are poorly understood. Even though several
systematic researches have been conducted on flora and fauna in this environment,
data on microbial diversity is scarce despite of its importance towards terrestrial
ecosystem functioning. Due to the highly acidic environment, low concentrations of
nutrients and anoxic condition, microbial species in the peat swamp environment are
slow-growing, difficult to isolate and manipulate in the laboratory. |
