It is a shame that the (Soil) Food Web proponents and hype pushing evangelists never mention(ed) or refer(ed) to the real discoverer of the biocoenotic community of microorganisms in the soil

The Geobionts of the domestic field soil and forest soil (3 = Isocystis sp. = Blue Algae alive)
In other rare documents there is a differentiation in the Soil Foodweb Structure of Bacteria in
* True Bacteria
* Cyano Bacteria (Blue Algae)
Two tremendous different microorganisms with tremendous different functions in the soil.
There is also a mere mention of Green Algae that is normally total ignored in the Soil Foodweb.
Poster
From the accompanying Manual:
"Qualitative Assessment of Microorganisms
Found in Soil, Compost, Castings, and Compost Teas"
Green Algae adds a whole new essential function in the soil, e.g. producing O2, storing N and converting minerals into organic mass (as a member of the Lithobionts).
Nothing said about it here ..
Again, Green Algae does not show up in the list of Soil Foodweb microorganisms in this manual.Raoul Francé; Das Buch des Lebens (The Book of Life), 1924
The picture tries to show the real proportions in a water-filled finest soil column,
with the curtain of proliferating soil fungi and soil bacteria, the "train" of diatoms,
the lawn of blue-green algae and the testate amoeba creeping in between.
Drawn according to nature studies at about 600 times magnification.
