Microbial biomass estimations in soils from tussock grasslands by three biochemical procedures     

D.J. Ross  K.R. Tate  Annette Cairns  Elizabeth A. Pansier 《Soil biology & biochemistry》1980,12(4):375-383

Microbial biomass was determined by three biochemical procedures in nine topsoils from a climosequence in tussock grasslands. The pH values of the samples ranged from 4.4 to 6.2 and organic C contents from 2.5 to 20.0%. When determined by a chloroform-fumigation procedure, contents of biomass C and mineral-N (Min-N) flush ranged from 530–2780 and 59–167 μgg^?1 dry soil respectively. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) content ranged from 2.2 to 10.7 μg g^?1 dry soil. All three estimates were significantly correlated with each other and with several soil properties, including organic C and total N contents and CO₂ production. They were not significantly correlated with any climatic factor.In spite of these significant correlations, the ratios of the biomass estimates varied appreciably in the different soils. The ratios of biomass C/Min-N flush ranged from 7.8 to 22.8 (average 12.5), biomass C/ATP from 163 to 423 (average 248) and Min-N flush/ATP from 12 to 35 (average 22). These ratios were mostly higher than those found elsewhere for Australian and English soils. The high biomass C/ATP and Min-N flush/ATP ratios did not appear to originate from inefficient extraction of “native” ATP or from the soils' P status. Based on these results, care in the use of factors for obtaining soil microbial biomass content from Min-N flush or ATP values is indicated.  相似文献   

Influence of storage on soil microbial biomass estimated by three biochemical procedures     

D.J. Ross  K.R. Tate  Annette Cairns  Karen F. Meyrick 《Soil biology & biochemistry》1980,12(4):369-374

The effects of 28 and 56 days' storage at 25°, 4° and ?20°C on the microbial biomass content of four soils from tussock grasslands were studied by three biochemical procedures. Two of the procedures involved measurement of CO₂ and mineral-N (Min-N) production by chloroform-fumigated and unfumigated soil, and consequent estimation of biomass C and Min-N flush respectively. In the third, adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) content was determined.Patterns of CO₂ production were often influenced by storage treatment. The use of fixed incubation periods for estimating the CO₂ flush of fumigated soil and the steady rate of CO₂ production by unfumigated soil did, however, give biomass C estimates that were generally similar to those calculated from individually determined incubation periods for each treatment and soil.Biomass C values could change significantly at all storage temperatures, but generally least at ?20°C. Storage at ?20°C was also the most suitable for retaining ATP contents, whereas 4°C was best for values of Min-N flush. Values of Min-N flush after storage of soil at ?20°C decreased significantly in two of the soils but increased in another. No storage temperature was thus satisfactory for all three indices of microbial biomass. Generally, however, 4°C was adequate for short periods, and 25°C the least suitable.  相似文献   

Growth and mortality of sibling triploid and diploid Sydney rock oysters, Saccostrea glomerata (Gould), in the Camden Haven River     

Anthony J Troup  Stuart C Cairns  & Rodney D Simpson 《Aquaculture Research》2005,36(11):1093-1103

Growth and mortality of sibling triploid and diploid Sydney rock oysters, grown at two tidal heights, three stocking densities and three different sites on the Camden Haven River estuary, were compared. Triploids grew faster than diploids. The majority of the growth rate difference occurred after the oysters reached 2 years of age. By 3.2 years, triploids were 49% heavier than diploids. Oysters grown intertidally were larger than those grown subtidally. Oysters stocked at the lightest density of 2 L per basket grew to a significantly larger size than baskets stocked at 3 or 4 L. Growth rates were significantly different at the three sites. Growth was reduced the further the oysters were from the mouth of the estuary. There was no significant difference in mortality between ploidy level, but there were differences between tidal heights, stocking densities and sites. Intertidal oysters suffered higher mortality than subtidal. Oysters stocked at the highest density had a significantly higher mortality than the lowest density; neither of these was significantly different from the medium density. The site closest to the mouth of the estuary had significantly lower mortality than the middle and upper estuary sites.  相似文献

牦牛大肠埃希氏菌病灭活疫苗的制备     

曾群辉  朱国玉  索朗斯珠  旦巴次仁  布旺堆 《中国兽药杂志》2007,41(9):24-26

用本实验室分离鉴定的致病性牦牛大肠埃希氏菌，按常规方法制备了4批氢氧化铝胶灭活疫苗。对牦牛大肠埃希氏菌的菌液培养、纯粹检验、活菌计数、灭活等进行了探索，并对用该菌研制成的疫苗进行了常规检验。结果4批灭活疫苗经无菌检验为阴性；经物理性状检验为：静置后上层是淡黄色的澄明液体，下层为灰白色沉淀，振荡后呈均匀混浊液；经牦牛安全检验结果为安全；经牦牛效力试验有效。牦牛大肠埃希氏菌病灭活疫苗为免疫预防该病打下了良好的基础。  相似文献
