Aluminum Bioaccumulation in the Earthworm and Acute Toxicity to the Earthworm [PDF]
2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering, 2010 Aluminum is a highly cytotoxic metal to plants, but its toxicity and accumulation to invertebrates in neutral soils is still unknown. This study is to determine the acute toxicity and bioaccumulation of aluminum to the earthworm. The ecotoxicity tests were based on the methods of international standardization of organization (ISO) and OECD guideline ...

Phosphatase activity in the drilosphere and its link to phosphorus uptake by grass
Geoderma, 2023 Earthworms can increase the solubility of phosphorus (P) in soil, an effect which to a large extent is controlled by mineralisation of organic P. Phosphatases, a class of hydrolytic enzymes, catalyse this mineralisation process.
