Microbial Counts of Dark Red Latosol Samples Stored at Different Temperatures

Abstract: The number of colony forming units (CFU) of different groups of bacteria and fungi in samples stored at temperatures of 5 to -12oC for 0-32 weeks was evaluated. The number of CFU obtained after the different periods of storage of red latossol soil was compared with the number of colonies obtained immediately after removal of soil samples (time zero). The number of total bacteria and actinomycetes in the samples remained practically unchanged throughout the storage period. The number of Gram-negative bacteria d… Show more

“…Our results support previous research on soil bacteria [31] and forest soil fungi [32,33], suggesting that varying soil storage time and the temperature is a robust method to increase isolate diversity from most sediment samples. In addition, our study demonstrates that culture-based cave diversity metrics can be altered by logistical constraints if samples are collected and stored for long periods of time.…”

“…Another reported reason why storing soil samples above 0 • C for a prolonged duration would benefit obtaining additional species is that fungi are still metabolically active at these temperatures [33]. Active, fast-growing fungi are likely to deplete sediment carbon resources resulting in an increased proportion of slower-growing oligotrophic fungi over time.…”

“…Podese inferir essas transformações pela quantificação do número de microrganismos ou por sua atividade (NANNIPIERI et al, 1978;VIEIRA e NAHAS, 1998). Pelas transformações dos compostos fosfatados, por meio de reações de solubilização do fósforo inorgânico e de mineralização do fósforo orgânico, forma-se fosfato solúvel que pode ser utilizado pelas plantas para seu crescimento (BERTON et al, 1997).…”
