I am trying to decide on a translation for this term. I have come across 'scavenging micro-organisms' (which I think is a reat image, but I wonder if they are necessarily scavengers) and 'decomposer microbes'.... any other suggestions? See below (the passage is quite self-explanatory)
La dégradation de la matière organique en zone profonde par les microorganismes décomposeurs consomme l’oxygène de l’eau et cette couche devient alors anoxique. Sous ces conditions, des éléments nutritifs (ammonium et orthophosphate) sont relargués par le sédiment.

What's left in Mozart's grave?
The microbes that inhabit a compost pile are so small that a clod of soil the size of a pea may contain millions of them. They break down the complex compounds of the waste material into simpler organic compounds. Bacteria are the most important group of DECOMPOSING MICROORGANISMS in composting, and they are generally identified by the temperature range in which they are most active At temperatures below 59°F (15°C) activity of the primary DECOMPOSING BACTERIA is very limited.

I mean, from "décomposeur" to "composteur" to "compositeur" is but a hemidemisemiquaver in the symphony of life.
