  • Title: [New criteria for evaluation of soil bacterial complexes].
    Author: Polianskiĭ AM, Golovchenko AV, Polianskaia LM, Zviagintsev DG.
    Journal: Mikrobiologiia; 2002; 71(5):675-80. PubMed ID: 12449635.
    Abstract:
    The initial concentration of prokaryotic microorganisms, the type of their growth, doubling time, and the growth dynamics of bacteria and actinomycetes in three types of soil (meadow, chestnut, and soddy forest) were evaluated by the luminescence microscopic analysis of soil samples incubated in a humid chamber for 1 day. Soddy forest and chestnut soils differed in most of the parameters analyzed. Meadow soil was close to soddy forest soil in some parameters and to chestnut soil in other parameters. All soil suspensions exhibited high growth rates of bacteria and actinomycetes, indicating that the fraction of viable microorganisms in the soils was high.
