TLDR
Inorganic nutrients stimulated hydrocarbon biodegradation but not all biological activities to a significant extent, and the residual hydrocarbon content correlated positively with soil respiration, biomass-C (substrate-induced respiration), and with activities of soil dehydrogenase, urease and catalase.About:

Different approaches to evaluating soil quality using biochemical properties
TL;DR: A review of the use of biochemical properties as indicators of soil quality can be found in this paper, where the authors review the trends in their use over the last decade and present some of the main problems posed by using these properties as quality indicators.

Characterization of hydrocarbon-degrading microbial populations in contaminated and pristine Alpine soils
TL;DR: No correlation was found between the prevalence of hydrocarbon-degradative genotypes and biological activities (respiration, fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis, lipase activity) or numbers of culturable hydrocarbon -degrading soil microorganisms; there also was no correlation between the numbers of hydro carbon degraders and the contamination level.

Impact of fullerene (C60) on a soil microbial community.
TL;DR: The observations show that the introduction of fullerene, as either C60 or nC60, has little impact on the structure and function of the soil microbial community and microbial processes.

TL;DR: Three soils (i.e. a Belgian soil, B-BT, a German soil, G, and an Italian agricultural soil, I-BT) with different properties and hydrocarbon-pollution history with regard to their potential to degrade phenanthrene were investigated and the presence of common bands of microbial species in the cultures and in the native soil DNA indicated that those strains could be potential in situ Phenanthrene degraders.

Salinity affects microbial activity and soil organic matter content in tidal wetlands
TL;DR: Results indicate that salinity increases microbial decomposition rates in low salinity wetlands, and suggests that these ecosystems may experience decreased soil OM accumulation, accretion, and carbon sequestration rates even with modest levels of saltwater intrusion.

A new medium for the enumeration and subculture of bacteria from potable water.
TL;DR: Results from parallel studies with spread, membrane filter, and pour plate procedures showed that R2A medium yielded significantly higher bacterial counts than did plate count agar, and the magnitude of the count was inversely proportional to the incubation temperature.

Hydrocarbon Biodegradation and Oil Spill Bioremediation
Ronald M. Atlas,Richard Bartha +1 more
TL;DR: Applied studies focused on optimizing microbial growth on low- to middle-molecular-weight hydrocarbons and developed fermentor designs for large-scale single cell protein production with agitation and aeration systems that permitted high rates of microbes growth on soluble and highly emulsified hydrocarbon substrates.
