Amino Acid: Its Dual Role as Nutrient and Scavenger of Free Radicals in Soil

Abstract: Ascorbic acid is a bacteriostatic agent; one of the many ways by which ascorbic acid hampers bacterial growth is by the production of hydrogen peroxide, which further converts into hydroxyl free radicals. Certain amino acids can counteract the inhibitory effect of hydroxyl free radicals by checking their oxidizing effect. Though ascorbic acid is bacteriostatic in nature, it facilitates prokaryotic respiration by decarboxylation. This study was carried out to understand how microbes from different horizons of t… Show more

“…Decomposition of Fraxinus excelsior leaves increases the proportion of glucose to other monosaccharides [110] when soil α-glucosidase is slightly inhibited or activated by some L-and D-carbohydrates including L-arabinose and L-rhamnose, D-xylose, D-mannose or D-glucose [111]. Additionally, D-imino sugars and some amino acids such as 3-or 4-hydroxyproline are glycosidase inhibitors [112,113].…”

“…The growth and yield of crops were increased in many studies by the use of humic acid substances due to the increase in cell membrane permeability, the stimulation of seed germination and viability, respiration, photosynthesis rate and root cell elongation, increasing the activity of enzymatic antioxidants such as catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). These enzymes play an important role in activating the formation of structural protein [3,[21][22][23][24]. Furthermore, humic substances can increase the biotic and abiotic stress tolerance capacity of the crop plant.…”

“…nutrient supply, atmospheric conditions, and competitiveness with other components of these communities [50]. In roots, carbon exudates are released which act as a nutrient source, as well as chemo-attractant, for bacteria, and are responsible for the colonization of endophytes inside the plant [46,[51][52][53]. Moreover, higher bacterial diversity in the upper part as compared to the middle part of the shoot might have originated from aerial colonization in the plants [54].…”
