I think TP formation is driven by plant root exudates being delivered to grow microbial biomass, sequestering carbon pulled from the air. The fungi-like bacteria, actinomycetes, seems a candidate. ...

Just thought I'd give my own horn a toot, considering the piece E forwarded which mentions actinomycetes as of interest to TP formation and function. Of course, even a stopped clock (analog) is right twice a day, so I remain ever humble...
