“…The disadvantage of the classic method of soil microbiology was later overcome by using percolation techniques introduced by Schloesing and Müntz [140]. The apparatus developed by Audus [3] was later modiWed by Lees and others [23,71,[83][84][85][86][87]127,144,160] and in the 1980s, among others, by Goswami and Green [55], Stevens and Cornforth [147], Weeraratne [177] and Longden and Claridge [90]. Combination of soil percolation with the measurement of produced radioactive carbon dioxide was used in the Wrst works dealing with the eVect of glucose on decomposition of (plant) organic materials added to soil [154].…”

This review deals with techniques and methods used in the study of the function and development of microorganisms occurring in soil with emphasis on the contributions of Czech Academician Ivan Málek and his coworkers or fellows (Jiří Macura, František Kunc) to the development of basic techniques used in soil microbiology. Early studies, including batch cultivation and respirometric techniques, as well as later developments of percolation and continuous-flow methods of cultivation of soil microorganisms are discussed. Recent developments in the application of analytical chemistry (HPLC or GC) and of molecular biological techniques to ecological questions that have revolutionized concepts in soil microbiology and microbial ecology are also briefly mentioned, including denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE), phospholipid fatty acid analysis (PLFA) and others. The shift of soil microbiology from the study of individual microorganisms to entire microbial communities, including nonculturable species, is briefly discussed.

“…Initially, the one described by Audus (1) was used, but a battery of these took considerable laboratory bench space. Several other devices for the continuous percolation of a soil sample have been described (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9); however, most of these are also rather bulky in size, require time to construct, and may use a considerable amount of glassware. If purchased, they are relatively expensive.…”
