Mineralisation rates after soil inoculation with MCCP in two consecutive incubation phases. Mineralization rates of 14C-SMZ in soil Scheyern1 after inoculation with a specific microbial community established on carrier particles (MCCP) quantified via trapping of 14CO2. To test the sustainability of the approach, 14C-SMZ was applied twice. a First, 14C-SMZ application and incubation for 112 days. For comparison, the graph was cropped at day 50. (Full 112 days are presented in Additional file 6: Fig. S5). b Second, 14C-SMZ application and 14C-SMZ mineralisation measurement after 112 days of incubation. Values represent mean ± standard deviation; n = 3; control signifies “soil without inoculation”
