A critical estimation of methods for measuring side-effects of chemicals on microorganisms in soils.
Chemosphere 17, 1183-1188 (1988)
Six methods described for the determination of total microbial activity were tested in two soils for their suitability to detect potential effects of three pesticides. Total microbial activity is represented by measuring the heat output and the ATP-amount. Methods involving the arginine ammonification, the hydrolysis of fluorescein diacetate and the Fe (III)-reduction show an enhanced sensitivity for special microbial groups.
