Distinct Increase

During the growth of plant, the very distinct increase of enzymatic activity of peroxidase and catalase was observed, but in case of acid phosphatase in smaller degree. An irrigation caused the decreasing of activity of all tested enzymes in both stages of cabbage growth. However, in case of leeks leaves sprinkling irrigation stimulated activity of catalase and acid phosphatase in both stages and peroxidase in the second stage of growth. The effectiveness of the mineral nutritive was differentiated, and often correlated with a level of soil moisture, kind of plant and its stage of growth.

Staining Methods

The phosphatases in the cytoplasm and nuclei of Drosophila salivary glands are better preserved by fixation in absolute acetone than in 85 per cent, alcohol. In whole glands there is relatively little extraction of the enzyme during assay. Phosphatase activity is more resistant to incubation at neutrality than at pH 8.6, but in this material there is sufficient residual enzymatic activity to permit redetermination of alkaline, neutral, or acid phosphatase activity by staining methods after an initial quantitative determination. The state of the membranes of the gland affects the penetration of the substrate sufficiently to limit the activities obtained.

Organic Fertilisation

A three-year pot experiment carried out in the vegetation hall in 2014–2016 included studying the enzymatic activity of soil, into which various amounts of copper: (100, 200 and 300 mg Cu/kg soil) and organic materials (cattle manure, chicken manure, post-mushroom substrate) were introduced, used separately, at a soil-introduction dose of 2 g C<sub>org</sub>/kg. Copper and organic materials were used once, only in the first year of the study, before sowing test plant orchard grass. In soil collected after the last (fourth) swath of grass in each year of the study, the activity of urease, dehydrogenases, acid, and alkaline phosphatase was determined. Applications of copper to the soil, regardless of its dose, resulted in a decrease in urease, dehydrogenases and alkaline phosphatase and an increase in acid phosphatase activity. The inactivating effect of this metal on the activity of urease, dehydrogenases and alkaline phosphatase increased with the increase of its dose. Organic fertilisation generally increased the enzymatic activity of the analysed soil. In subsequent years of the study, urease and alkaline phosphatase activity decreased, while acid phosphatase activity increased. Dehydrogenase activity did not change significantly in subsequent years of the study.

Foram estudados os efeitos do metalaxil sobre a microbiota de solos coletados nos municípios paulistas de Aguai, Estiva Gerbi e Jaguariúna (Brasil), suplementados com doses de 3 e 30 µg i.a. g-1 de metalaxil pelo período de 32 dias. Populações de bactérias, actinomicetos e fungos foram monitoradas mediante contagem em placas com meios de cultura seletivos e pela atividade enzimática da fosfatase ácida (Pase) e desidrogenase (Dhase). A Pase foi avaliada pelo método da p-nitrofenilfosfatase e a Dhase pela quantificação do vermelho formazan produzido. Houve predominância de populações bacterianas em todos os solos, sendo os maiores valores de UFC g-1 observados nos solos suplementados com a dose de 30 µg i.a. g-1 de metalaxil. Populações de fungos apresentaram acentuado decréscimo após a incorporação do composto. A atividade Dhase foi inibida pela presença de metalaxil nos solos arenoso e controle. No solo argiloso houve acréscimo dessa atividade, mais significativo no período de 7 a 21 dias, nas duas doses de suplementação avaliadas. A atividade da Pase foi inibida em todos os três solos. METALAXIL ON SOIL MICROBIOT AND ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY Abstract The effects of Metalaxyl on soil microorganisms collected in Sao Paulo districts of Aguai, Estiva, Gerbi and Jaguariuna (Brazil), supplemented with doses of 3 and 30 µg a.i g-1 for the period of 32 days were studied. Bacterial, actinomycets and fungi were monitored by plate counting and by acid phosphatase (Pase) and dehydrogenase enzymatic activity (Dhase). The Pase was evaluated by the method of p-nitrophenilphosphatase and the Dhase by the quantification of the produced red formazan. Predominance of bacterial population was observed in all soils, being the higher values of CFU g-1 observed in soils supplemented with the dose of 30 µg a.i g-1 of Metalaxyl. Fungal population presented accentuated decrease after compost incorporation. Dhase activity was inhibited by the presence of Metalaxyl in sandy and control soils. In clay soils the activity was incremented, being more significant in the period of 7 to 21 days, in both supplementation doses. Pase activity was inhibited in all three soils.

The focus of this article is to provide informations about soil enzymatic activity as a biological indicator for impacts of pesticides on soils. In this experiment, an ecological soil was treated with two types of fungicide (Ridomil Gold and Bravo 500) and two of insecticides (Mospilan 20SG and Vertimec 1.8% EC). The pesticides were assessed for their effect on different enzymatic activities. They were administrated over a 28 days period and the samples of soil were taken once every 7 days and analyzed in the laboratory. For each sample was determined the enzymatic activity, pH, humidity. The enzymatic activity was assessed using colorimetrical methods. Enzymes chosen for this study were cellulase, amylase, xylanase, urease, alkaline and acid phosphatase. Results shown that the enzymatic activity can increase or decrease when the soil was treated with the fungicides and insecticides chosen for this experiment.

Abstract A patient without prostatic carcinoma had a high concentration of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP; EC 3.1.3.2) in his serum. This PAP was bound to IgG ("macro-PAP"), and IgG autoantibodies against PAP were demonstrated in serum. The patient's IgG prolonged the biological half-life of radiolabeled PAP in rats, suggesting that the formation of IgG-PAP complexes was responsible for decreased PAP catabolism. Furthermore, macro-PAP was inactivated in serum more slowly than PAP. These factors accounted for the increases in the enzymatic activity and antigenic concentration of PAP measured in the patient's serum. Inappropriate therapy was prescribed on the basis of this laboratory result. The diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma requires clinical or histological evidence of malignant disease, and should not rely solely on PAP measurements.

&lt;p&gt;Cinnabar mining, to obtain mercury, is still an important activity for the residents of the Sierra Gorda in Mexico, so this activity is currently source of mercury emission and possibly of other potentially toxic elements (PTE). In this work, seven study sites, located in areas with presence of exploitations of active or decommissioned mercury mines, have been studies with the aim of characterizing its occurrence and their effects on soil health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Biogeochemical analyses have been carried out with the purpose of identifying the key factors related with nutritional and toxicological status of these soils, looking for possible relationships between mercury, PTEs and their impact on the enzymatic activity of the soil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The values &amp;#8203;&amp;#8203;obtained for total mercury ranged from 5 to 159 ppm; comparing these values with those from an uncontaminated area, we observe that all zones are above reference range (0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg) and that four of them exceed the maximum permissible limits (23 mg/kg), according to Mexican regulations. Other measured PTE elements were Pb, with a range between 18.7 to 814.1 mg/kg; Cu between 45.4 to 94.2 mg/kg; Zn between 145.1 to 555.8 mg/kg; As between 30.5 to 1590 mg/kg; and Sb between 18.3 to 169.6 mg/kg. &amp;#160;Comparing with other areas, anomalous concentrations of trace elements in soils with the following values are considered: Pb up to 10,000 mg/kg, Cu up to 2,000 mg/kg, Zn up to 10,000 mg/kg and As up to 2500 mg/kg; none of the determined elements exceeds these reference values. In the case of enzymatic activities, a range between 111.36 and 332.38 &amp;#181;gTPF g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;day&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; was obtained with dehydrogenase. These values are slightly higher compared to other Hg contaminated soils (110 &amp;#181;gTPF g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;day&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;) described by this team. For the acid phosphatase, a range between 516.72 to 1606.34 &amp;#181;gPNF g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;h&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;; and for alkaline phosphatase a range between 1624.92 to 4070.82 &amp;#181;gPNF g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;h&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;. These values correspond to those measured in Sokolov, Czech Republic, ranging from 381 to 1510 &amp;#181;gPNF g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;h&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; for acid phosphatase and 455 to 4820 &amp;#181;gPNF g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;h&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; for alkaline phosphatase measured in topsoil layer from spoil heaps after brown coal mining.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our results show that the soil has contents of PTE elements indicating low pollution degree, except for Hg, registering concentrations above the maximum permissible limits for non-industrial soils; however, the results of the enzymatic activity reflect a &quot;good&quot; activity. Therefore, the incidence of the presence of these metals in the soil health, as measured through enzymatic activity, does not have a significant impact and the studied soils can be considered as suitable for commercial, residential or agricultural uses.&lt;/p&gt;

Newly shorn sheep were exposed to a cold (3°C) wet environment for 8 days; six out of 10 untreated animals died but there were no deaths in a group of 10 that was treated with cortisone. In two other experiments, nine out of 15 control sheep died, but only four out of 15 sheep treated with adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH). In a final experiment approximately one-third of exposed controls died compared with one-tenth of sheep treated with dexamethasone trimethylacetate. A significantly greater proportion (P < 0.05) of sheep given ACTH or 1.5 mg or more of dexamethasone trimethylacetate per kg had rectal temperatures higher than 37.8°C during the first 96 hr of exposure than the comparable controls. The adrenal glands of sheep that died in the cortisone and ACTH experiments were heavier than those taken from survivors that were killed after the experiment; macroscopically, the cortices of some of the adrenals from sheep that succumbed were haemorrhagic and resembled the glands seen in the Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome in man; all were heavily infiltrated with lipid when compared with the cortices of survivors. ß-Glucuronidase activity in the serum of cortisone-treated sheep (and in untreated survivors) was elevated during the first 2–3 days of exposure and returned to pre-exposure levels; untreated sheep that succumbed showed continuously increasing enzymatic activity. Acid phosphatase activity was initially depressed in steroid-treated sheep and returned to pre-exposure levels, whereas activity increased continuously in controls that died. Total leucocytes were lower during the first 72 hr of exposure in sheep treated with 1.5–2 mg dexamethasone trimethylacetate per kg, compared with untreated controls. We suggest that the enlarged, fat-laden haemorrhagic adrenals found in sheep that died from cold exposure resulted from excessive ACTH stimulation prior to death. The results suggested a state of adrenocortical insufficiency during the first 96 hr of cold exposure.

Abstract The paper addresses the effect of a compost prepared from tobacco wastes with an admixture of bark and straw on the enzymatic activity and certain chemical properties of a grey-brown podzolic soil amended with that compost. The study was conducted under the conditions of a pot experiment in which the soil material was collected from the surface horizon of the grey-brown podzolic soil. The effect of the application of the compost was compared with soil without such amendment. The test plant was maize cv. Kosmo 230. Fertilisation of the light soil with the compost studied caused changes in the enzymatic activity of the soil that were related both to the dose of the compost and to the kind of enzyme studied. With increase in the dose of the compost there was an increase in dehydrogenase activity (highest dose) and a significant decrease in the activity of acid phosphatase. Moreover, it was observed that tobacco compost was a significant source that enriched the light soil in organic matter, total nitrogen, and available forms of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium, which was evident in increased yields of maize grown as the test plant. Significant correlations were also demonstrated between a majority of the biochemical and chemical parameters, which indicates that those parameters characterise well the biological properties of a grey-brown podzolic soil amended with tobacco compost.
