were obtained with clay content, pH, exchangeable Ca. Non-swelling layer silicates<br />

and iron-hydroxide (lepidocrocite) sorb negligible quantity of AT. Worm cast<br />

demonstrates larger capacity for AT adsorption than parent soil due to higher OC<br />

and HA content, HA/FA ratio and, probably, additional AT adsorption on slightly<br />

decomposed OM, microbial or fungal biomass and specific compounds like<br />

proteins, polysaccharides (intestinal mucous) excreted during gut transit. The<br />

presence of natural solids (both soil and worm cast) greatly stimulates AT<br />

biodegradation. The effect seems to be linked to the content and composition of<br />

OM, but also to other parameters: granulometry, desorption rate, bacterial cell<br />

characteristics like attachment to the solid matrix particles, chemotaxis towards<br />

AT, etc.<br />
