Abstract

arylsulfatase

phosphatase

urease

animal experiment

beta 1,3 glucan synthetase

gamma radiation

microorganism

Arylsulphatase, ?-1,3 glucanase, phosphatase and urease responded differently to ?-irradiation ( 5 - 50 Mrad) in air-dried and moist soils. In all instances phosphatase was the most stable. The variability between enzymes may be due to inherent biochemical and structural characteristics or to their location within the soil microenvironment.
