Popis: The study of the Typha species has gained attention in tropical areas due to their rapid growth, nutrient release, and contribution to detritus in lakes. Analysis of the degradation of Typha angustifolia has shown that the first stage of decomposition is marked primarily by the release of soluble compounds, indicating that microorganisms have a minor influence at this stage. In subsequent stages, microorganisms act by degrading and consuming phenolic compounds and phosphorus. The remaining compounds form humic substances and are retained in the detritus. Thus, microorganisms significantly degrade organic matter, resulting in a two-fold increase in decomposition. Different forms of phosphorus could be detected in the remaining mass by 31P NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance). By comparing the 31P NMR data between the samples with and without the antibiotic, we can better understand the slow decomposition process of Typha angustifolia.
