Mean (n = 3) of heterotrophic cultivable colony forming units (10⁵ cfu mL⁻¹) of bacteria and fungi (A) and microbial biomass carbon (C_mic) and nitrogen (N_mic) (B) in control soil without any amendment (CS) as well as soil amended with grass litter (LS), and grass litter-nanoparticles (LNPS) after 90 and 180 days of incubation. Bars on panel denote the standard error (±1) of mean. Small letters indicate the significant differences among treatments and time for Bacteria as well as for C_mic, whereas capital letters indicate this difference for Fungi and N_mic, at probability level of 5%.
