A variety of microbiological soil tests were evaluated as indicators of soil quality and as predictors of fertility. Methods for evaluation of microbiological tests together with physical and chemical indicators were also studied. Prior to the actual evaluation of the microbiological tests, a strategy to select soils as different as possible with respect to their physical and chemical characteristics was developed. As sampling was not possible during the wole year, the effects of frozen and cold storage on the microbilogical analysis used in the studies were also evaluated. Standard laboratory analyses were employed for texture, pH, available nutrients, and organic matter content. The microbiological variables assessed were basal respiration rate, substrate induced respiration, N-mineralization, potential ammonium oxidation, potentail denitrification and phosphatase activity

The Series The fungi represent a heterogeneous assemblage of eukaryotic microorganisms and have become favored organisms for research at the cellular and molecular level. Such research involvement has been stimulated by interest in the biotechnological application of fungi in processes related to industry, agriculture and ecology. Considering both yeasts and mycelial fungi, The Mycota highlights developments in both basic and applied research and presents an overview of fungal systematics and cell structure. Foremost authorities in research on mycology have been assembled to edit and contribute to the volumes. This Volume The third volume includes: Membrane Systems and Transport, Responses to Physical Stress, Transcription, Chromosome Replication, Metabolic Pathways and Regulation.
