Data curation of extracellular enzyme activity spectrophotometric or fluorometric data [PDF]
Extracellular Enzyme Activity (EEA) assay is an important tool in soil ecology. During data analyses, we experienced outlier time-point measurements and samples deviating from a linear development.

Influence of water availability and temperature on estimates of microbial extracellular enzyme activity [PDF]
Soils are highly heterogeneous and support highly diverse microbial communities. Microbial extracellular enzymes breakdown complex polymers into small assimilable molecules representing the limiting step of soil organic matter mineralization.

Response of soil extracellular enzyme activity and stoichiometry to short-term warming and phosphorus addition in desert steppe [PDF]
Background Phosphorus (P) is regarded as one of the major limiting factors in grassland ecosystems. Soil available phosphorus deficiency could affect soil extracellular enzyme activity, which is essential for microbial metabolism. Yet it is still unclear

Contrasting responses of soil microbial biomass and extracellular enzyme activity along an elevation gradient on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Soil microbial community composition and extracellular enzyme activity are two main drivers of biogeochemical cycling. Knowledge about their elevational patterns is of great importance for predicting ecosystem functioning in response to climate change ...

Effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Addition on Soil Extracellular Enzyme Activity and Stoichiometry in Chinese Fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) Forests [PDF]
Soil extracellular enzymes play an important role in microbial functions and soil nutrient cycling in the context of increasing N deposition globally. This is particularly important for Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) forests because of the decline

Beyond Single Enzymes: System-Level Fungal Transformation of Halogenated Nitrophenols [PDF]
Despite increasing interest in fungal remediation systems for the treatment of persistent contaminants, the mechanisms governing fungal transformation of halogenated organic compounds remain poorly resolved. The aim of this study was to determine whether

Persistent Activities of Extracellular Enzymes Adsorbed to Soil Minerals [PDF]
Adsorption of extracellular enzymes to soil minerals is assumed to protect them against degradation, while modifying their activities at the same time. However, the persistence of the activity of adsorbed enzymes remains poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the persistence of cellulase and α-amylase activities after adsorption to soil amended with ...
