Characterization of a substrate-induced respiration method for measuring fungal, bacterial and total microbial biomass on plant residues

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1991
Abstract A substrate-induced respiration (SIR) method is described to measure the contributions of fungi and bacteria to total glucose-induced microbial respiration on plant residues of differing composition. Relationships between fungal, bacterial and total SIR and biomass were used to develop regression equations for predicting microbial biomass C ...

Soil microbial biomass estimated by fumigation-extraction and substrate-induced respiration in two pesticide-treated soils

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1993
Abstract An incubation experiment was performed with two soils and five pesticide treatments (benomyl, isoproturon, simazine, dinoterb and chloroform). Microbial biomass C and N was estimated by fumigation-extraction (FE). Two modifications of the substrate-induced respiration (SIR) method were used: (1) a continuous flushing system and (2) a static ...

Relation between substrate-induced respiration and heat loss from soil samples treated with various contaminants

Thermochimica Acta, 1995
Abstract Heat loss and respiration following amendment with glucose were recorded for soils contaminated with heavy metals and organic pesticides over a period up to 28 days. For this purpose, measuring ampoules were adapted to enable measurement of heat loss and CO 2 evolution on the same soil sample and at the same time.

Modifications to the substrate-induced respiration method to permit measurement of microbial biomass in soils of differing water contents

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 1986
Abstract An improvement to the substrate-induced respiration (SIR) method of Anderson and Domsch (Soil Biol. Biochem. 10, 215–221) is described. In the original procedure endogenous CO2 respiration of soil micro-organisms was stimulated by addition of glucose which removed the substrate limitation to soil microbial respiration.

[The antibiotic-aided separation of fungal and bacterial substrate-induced respiration in various soil ecosystems].

Mikrobiologiia, 2005
Fungal and bacterial substrate-induced respiratory activities have been distinguished in gray forest and chestnut soils in various ecosystems (forest, grassland, tillage, unused land, and shelterbelt) using the antibiotics cycloheximide and streptomycin.

Snow-cover effects on substrate-induced respiration and SOM density fractions in transplanted pasture soils

2012
Sub-alpine pasture soils were transplanted from 1400m to three locations along an altitudinal gradient (600-1400m a.s.l) in the Swiss Jura mountains as a climate simulation. Following observations of potential snow-pack effects on in-situ soil respiration along our hill-slope gradient, we collected topsoils from three transplant sites with variable ...
