TLDR
The potential for in situ bioremediation of fipronil contaminated soil by bioaugmentation using efficient bacterial isolates was revealed and two bacterial strains Staphylococcus arlettae and Bacillus thuringiensis could degrade fipronsil in both liquid culture and soil.
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to analyze the abundance and activity of soil microflora in response to fipronil residues, as well as conjointly to isolate and identify bacteria for the bioremedia...

Use of p-nitrophenyl phosphate for assay of soil phosphatase activity

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method of assaying soil phosphatase activity is described, which involves colorimetric estimation of the p-nitrophenol released by the enzyme when the soil is incubated with buffered (pH 6·5) sodium pnphosphorus solution and toluene at 37°C for 1 hour.
