Definition

Protozoa (mg PLFA per kg) are single-cell micro-organisms that contain a cell nucleus (eukaryotes).

Protozoa activity is highly dependent on the presence of moisture in the soil. The radius of action of protozoa is limited to water films and water-filled pores.

Importance

The most important function of protozoa is to make nutrients available to the plant by "grazing" on microorganisms (mainly bacteria).
