Adenosine triphosphate and microbial biomass in soil
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1979 Two methods for measuring adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) in soil were compared, one based on extraction with NaHCO3-CHCl3 and thel other on extraction by a trichloracetic acid-phosphate-paraquat reagent. Recoveries of added ATP were greater with the NaHCO3-CHCl3 reagent but the extraction of “native” soil ATP by NaHCO3-CHCl3 was only about a third of ...

Responses of soil microbial biomass, microbial entropy and soil-microorganism stoichiometry imbalance to different utilization patterns in the artificial grassland of karst desertification area [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Different utilization patterns can alter the C, N, P cycles and their ecological stoichiometry characteristics in grassland soils. However, the effects of different utilization patterns on soil microbial biomass, microbial entropy and soil-microorganism ...

Phosphorus in the soil microbial biomass
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1984 Phosphorus in the soil microbial biomass (biomass P) and soil biomass carbon (biomass C) were linearly related in 15 soils (8 grassland, 6 arable, 1 deciduous woodland), with a mean P concentration of 3.3% in the soil biomass. The regression accounted for 82% of the variance in the data.

Global patterns of plant and microbial biomass in response to CO2 fumigation [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionThe stimulation of plant and microbial growth has been widely observed as a result of elevated CO2 concentrations (eCO2), however, this stimulation could be influenced by various factors and their relative importance remains unclear.MethodsA ...

Soil respiration, microbial biomass, and stoichiometry within riparian buffers and adjacent land use [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTerrestrial ecosystems exhibit varied land uses as a result of both anthropogenic activities and natural processes. These variations in land use alter plant composition, soil characteristics, topography, and management practices, and hence lead to ...

Microbial biomass and enzymatic activity in the rhizosphere of prickly-pear cactus genotypes inoculated with Bacillus subtilis and Paenibacillus Sp [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSome bacterial taxa, such as Bacillus and Paenibacillus, are known to colonize the rhizosphere and promote plant growth. However, little is known about their effect on microbial biomass and enzymatic activity in the rhizosphere of plants under semi-arid ...

Microbial Conversion of Biomass: a Review of Microbial Fuel Cells [PDF]
, 2011 The cleaner generation of energy is a vital concept if we are to ensure the survival of our current lifestyle past the depletion of the Earth’s fossil fuel supply. The study described in this chapter investigates the alternative energy producing method of microbial conversion of biomass to produce electrical energy.

Effects of pesticides on the soil microbial biomass and microbial activity [PDF]
, 1995 This thesis describes research investigating the side-effects of pesticides on soil microbial biomass and microbial activity, with particular reference to two recently developed pesticides, a fungicide, epoxiconazole, and a herbicide, quinmerac. In a dose-responsee xperiment,a pplication of thesep esticidest o a sandy loam soil, at up to 10 and 20 ...
