Evaluate the drafted changes
After reading your article, I understand the importance/significance of these bacteria in the ecosystem. However, I'm still unsure about the definition of these bacteria. How are they different from other decomposing bacteria, or what defines them as a group within decomposers? I think more information about saprotrophic nutrition would be helpful.

I think explaining more terms you use, such as microbial extracellular enzymes, would both make the article more accessible to readers and help add some length to the page. Remember a wiki page is usually used as the first source on a subject, so your audience likely has little to no background on the subject. While your first paragraph works well as a lead in, elaborating more on that information may be helpful.

I think nutrient cycling and MEEs works well as a subheading to give more depth on the subject.

Adding pictures would be a nice touch as well.

Also, for a new page, I think more sources would be helpful. In the peer review, for new articles it recommends an 'exhaustive' bibliography, with as much available literature on the subject as possible.
