Description

Measurement of six different soil extracellular enzyme activities using microplate spectrophotometry to understand microbial activity and nutrient cycling processes in response to plant removal treatments.

Typical Equipment

  • Synergy HT microplate spectrophotometer
  • sodium acetate buffer

Output Measurements

  • α-glucosidase activity
  • β-glucosidase activity
  • cellobiohydrolase activity
  • β-Xylosidase activity
  • β-N-acetylglucosamini-dase activity
  • acid phosphatase activity
