Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStatus of Soil Microbial Population, Enzymatic Activity and Biomass of Selected Natural, Secondary and Rehabilitated ForestsK. S. Daljit Singh, A. Arifin, O. Radziah et al.Substantial clearance of forests and conversion of forest into various land use types contribute to deterioration of soil fertility and associated nutrients loss. Soils from natural and rehabilitated forest in Chikus Forest Reserve and also enrichment planting forest and secondary forest of Tapah Hill Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia were selected in order to assess the influence of land use change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing Soil Biological Properties of Natural and Planted Forests in the Malaysian Tropical Lowland Dipterocarp ForestDaljit Singh Karam, Arifin Abdu, O. Radziah et al.Problem statement: A study was conducted to evaluate and compare the soil biological properties of a natural forest and an 18-year-old stand of Shorea leprosula in Chikus Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia. Approach: Soils were sampled at depths of 0-15 cm (topsoil) and 15-30 cm (subsoil) in six subplots (20×20 m) of natural forest (C1) and of a planted S. leprosula … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 29 Jul 2011 · 7,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of Different Functional Microbial Agents on the Biological Characteristics and Rhizosphere Enzyme Activity of Hydroponic CucumberCe Wang, Ouya Zhao, Shiyou Sun et al.This study aims to comprehensively explore the effect of functional microbial agents on healthy soil cultivation and attempt to increase cucumber yield. Three different microbial agents were used for cucumber seedlings by virtue of the hydroponic cultivation method in order to study their effects on enzyme activity and seedling growth and reveal the relationship between rhizosphere enzyme activity and carbon, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2025 · 5,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCellulolytic Enzymes Production by Solid State Culture Using Pecan Nut Shell as Substrate and SupportMiguel A. Medina-Morales, José L. Martínez-Hernández, Heliodoro de la Garza, Cristóbal Noé AguilarProblem Statement: Great interest in the use of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing in order to diminish the accumulation of residues, such as pecan nut shells. One of the alternatives is the fungal degradation of these residues. Approach: The capacity of Trichoderma (coded as T1, T2 and T3) strains to produce cellulase and xylonite was evaluated. Results: Pecan nut shell fibers … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclodextrin Glucanotransferase Activity of Microbial Strains Isolated from Yam-Cultivation Soils in Northwestern BeninCyrille Alode Vodounon, Ténor Dias-Mendel Allode et al.β-Cyclodextrin, an industrially important oligosaccharide, is produced by microbial enzymes such as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). This study investigated ways to optimize the enzymatic activity of CGTase from Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus brevis, and Bacillus subtilis strains isolated from soils in north-western Benin. Cyclization activity of CGTase and the influence of pH, temperature, and metal ions were assessed using conventional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2026 · 652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Foliar Bio-Based Fertilization on Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) in Reconciling Productivity and Alleviation of Environmental Concerns Under Semi-Arid ConditionsGani Stybayev, Raushan Ramazanova, Kelvin Harrison Diri et al.A two-year randomized field trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of foliar bio-based fertilization on the growth, productivity, grain quality, and soil health of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under semi-arid conditions in Northern Kazakhstan. Four treatments were compared: T0 (100 kg Ammophos, mineral fertilizer control), T1 (50 kg N14P23 + biotreatment), T2 (25 kg N14P23 + biotreatment), and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Dominant Cellulose-Degrading Microbe in Humus and Optimisation of its Enzyme Producing Conditions and Application Optimization of Enzyme Production Conditions and Evaluation of Efficient Straw Degradation by Penicillium oxalicumGailing Wang, Chendi Li, Yanan Guo et al.The slow degradation of returned straw adversely affects seedling survival rate. To shorten the degradation time of lignin in maize straw in warm temperate regions, a cellulolytic microbial strain that can secrete polymer with high enzymatic activity was isolated from the humus, which helped to identify an effective strain to expedite the decomposition of returned maize straw. Using the molecular … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 23 May 2023 · 5,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Decreasing Temperature on Soil Microbial Activity in a Boreal Shield EcozoneAlistar Moy, Kabwe NkongoloAlthough the focus on warming is imperative to address climate change, addressing the effects of cooling is arguably just as relevant in characterizing the enzyme response to temperature fluctuations. In this study, the response of enzyme activity to diminishing temperatures in the field was evaluated. The targeted sites were located in the City of Greater Sudbury in Northern Ontario, Canada. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2022 · 6,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlomalin Production and Microbial Activity in Soils Impacted by Gypsum Mining in a Brazilian Semiarid AreaAdalia Cavalcanti do Espírito Santo Mergulhao, Helio Almeida Burity, Fabio Sérgio Barbosa da Silva et al.Problem statement: Mining activities involve the removal of the vegetal cover and the soil organic layer, causing a severe environmental impact. In Northeast Brazil, 40% of the world’s crude gypsum is found in a semiarid area, making this region responsible for 95% of the gypsum demand in the national market. Although economically important, this activity is harmful to the environment. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 9,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFish Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: ReviewA. E. Ghaly, D. Dave, S. Budge, M. S. BrooksProblem statement: Spoilage of food products is due to chemical, enzymatic or microbial activities One-fourth of the world’s food supply and 30% of landed fish are lost through microbial activity alone.
