grows naturally on sheep, and is made of a protein called keratin - the same protein that is in human hair. when exposed to moisture for prolonged periods, for example in soil or compost, wool fibre will readily decompose. the warmer and wetter the conditions, the faster the breakdown. bacteria and fungi
break down the wool. the fungi first destroy the ends of the wool fibre, and bacteria then digest the weakened fibre by secreting enzymes. a wide range of fungi and bacteria are involved, including: fungi: microsporum, trichophton, fuasarium, rhizopus, chaetomium, aspergillius and penicillium bacteria...
