Forest soils are known to accumulate dead organic material (plant litter ) on the soil surface. When fresh, this material contains a range of substrates, including soluble saccharides, organic acids, amino acids or starch, as well as the plant cell wall-derived biopolymers, cellulose , hemicellulosesand lignin , which are used as growth substrates by ...

Extracellular Enzymes in Soils
Microbe Magazine, 2015I found the recent article in Microbe (April 2015, p. 178) in the Small Things Considered section (“Microbe, Enzyme or Mineral? a Riddle in the Soil”) interesting and appreciated the focus on extracellular enzymes in soils. However, the presentation leaves the reader with the impression that the paper reviewed (J. Blankinship et al., Soil Biol. Biochem.

Decontaminating soil with enzymes
Environmental Science & Technology, 1992Xenobiotics are manmade compounds often introduced into the environment at concentrations that cause undesirable effects. They can be transformed as a result of biotic and abiotic processes, leading to changes in their chemical state and ultimately in their toxicity and reactivity.

Effect of Pretilachlor on Soil Enzyme Activities in Tropical Rice Soil
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2016Pretilachlor treatments, namely, recommended dose at 600 g a.i. ha-1 (RD), double the recommended dose at 1200 g a.i. ha-1 (2RD), ten times of the recommended dose at 6000 g a.i. ha-1 (10RD) along with control, were used to study the effects of pretilachlor on soil enzymes in tropical rice soil.

Soil Enzyme Activities and Soil Fertility Dynamics
2012Soil fertility dynamics have been an interesting area in unravelling the diverse complexities involved with dynamic soil-plant relationship. Soil enzymes have been proven as the sensor against minutest edaphic, microbiological and biochemical changes in addition to soil contamination, often called nutrient cycling either as a result of intrinsic ...

Enzymes in soil: Properties, behavior and potential applications
2002Publisher Summary This chapter presents an outline of investigations performed on various aspects of enzymes in soil—namely, (1) enzymes in soil, as an example of “naturally immobilized enzymes,” (2) enzymes in soil, as affected by natural and anthropogenic factors, and (3) enzymes as potential detoxifying agents of polluted systems, including soils,

Application of Soil-Enzyme for Stabilization of Soils in Paving
2015There was in recent years a great offer of patented additives (enzymes) to the road market as solution to soil stabilization. However, they are many times rejected because there are no theoretical foundation to prove such uses, and also because researches themselves don't see research opportunities.
