Activity and spatial distribution of lignocellulose-degrading enzymes during forest soil colonization by saprotrophic basidiomycetes
TLDR
Activity and production of extracellular enzymes by saprotrophic litter-decomposing basidiomycetes Hypholoma fasciculare and Rhodocollybia butyracea was studied in microcosms with reconstructed L, O and Ah horizons of a soil profile of Quercus petraea forest soil.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial variability of enzyme activities and microbial biomass in the upper layers of Quercus petraea forest soil
Jaroslav Šnajdr,Vendula Valášková,Veˇra Merhautová,Jana Herinková,Tomáš Cajthaml,Petr Baldrian +5 more
TL;DR: Differences in enzyme activities were accompanied by differences in the microbial community composition where the relative amount of fungal biomass decreased and actinomycete biomass increased with soil depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of Quercus petraea litter: successive changes in litter chemistry are reflected in differential enzyme activity and changes in the microbial community composition.
Jaroslav Šnajdr,Tomáš Cajthaml,Vendula Valášková,Věra Merhautová,Mirka Petránková,Peter Spetz,Kaisu Leppänen,Petr Baldrian +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the dynamics of decomposition of individual litter components changes with time in accordance with the changes in the microbial community composition and its production of extracellular enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct and indirect effects of tree diversity drive soil microbial diversity in temperate deciduous forest
TL;DR: The results suggest that the soil microbial community is mainly indirectly influenced by aboveground diversity, and changes in soil pH or the soil nutrient status that are driven by specific plant traits like leave litter quality drive these indirect changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of soil properties and management on the activity of soil organic matter transforming enzymes and the quantification of soil-bound and free activity
Martina Štursová,Petr Baldrian +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the factors determining the activity and size of the mobile fraction of extracellular enzymes (laccase, Mn-peroxidase, endocellulase, cellobiohydrolase, β-glucosidase and endoxylanase) using a set of soils covering a wide range of physico-chemical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
phoD Alkaline Phosphatase Gene Diversity in Soil.
TL;DR: The taxonomic and environmental distribution of phoD genes using whole-genome and metagenome databases and a new set of primers which targets phOD genes in soil reveal the diversity ofphoD in soil and represent a valuable tool for the study of PhoD alkaline phosphatase in environmental samples.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.
E. G. Bligh,W. J. Dyer +1 more
TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal laccases - occurrence and properties.
TL;DR: The fact that laccases only require molecular oxygen for catalysis makes them suitable for biotechnological applications for the transformation or immobilization of xenobiotic compounds.

Living in a fungal world: impact of fungi on soil bacterial niche development⋆
TL;DR: The emergence of fungi in terrestrial ecosystems must have had a strong impact on the evolution of terrestrial bacteria, and niche differentiation between soil bacteria and fungi involved in the decomposition of plant-derived organic matter is focused on.
