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 ...

Microbial Enzymes for Biomass Conversion

Annual Review of Microbiology
Plant biomass has emerged as a cornerstone of the global bioenergy landscape because of its abundance and cost-effectiveness. The cell wall of plant biomass is an intricate network of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose by holoenzymes converts these polymers into monosaccharides and paves the way for the ...
