“…Hence, large changes in the activity of the enzymes were determined in soil polluted with diesel oil. For instance, the activity of dehydrogenases increased by as much as 6.2-fold at day 30 of the experiment, while that of catalase was 1.4-fold higher ar day 7 ( Figure 1 ), The main reason being the fact that microorganisms are the major source of soil enzymes ( Ameen et al, 2016 ; Stręk and Telesiński, 2016 ; Zaborowska et al, 2016 ).…”

The widespread use and consumption of crude oil draws the public’s attention to the fate of petroleum hydrocarbons in the environment, as they can permeate the soil environment in an uncontrollable manner. Contamination of soils with petroleum products, including diesel oil (DO), can cause changes in the microbiological soil properties. The effect of diesel oil on the functional diversity of fungi was tested in a model experiment during 270 days. Fungi were isolated from soil and identified. The functional diversity of fungal communities was also determined. Fungi were identified with the MALDI-TOF method, while the functional diversity was determined using FF-plates made by Biolog®, with 95 carbon sources. Moreover, the diesel oil degradation dynamics was assessed. The research showed that soil contaminated with diesel oil is characterized by a higher activity of oxireductases and a higher number of fungi than soil not exposed to the pressure of this product. The DO pollution has an adverse effect on the diversity of fungal community. This is proved by significantly lower values of the Average Well-Color Development, substrates Richness (R) and Shannon–Weaver (H) indices at day 270 after contamination. The consequences of DO affecting soil not submitted to remediation are persistent. After 270 days, only 64% of four-ringed, 28% of five-ringed, 21% of 2–3-ringed and 16% of six-ringed PAHs underwent degradation. The lasting effect of DO on communities of fungi led to a decrease in their functional diversity. The assessment of the response of fungi to DO pollution made on the basis of the development of colonies on Petri dishes [Colony Development (CD) and Eco-physiological Diversity (EP) indices] is consistent with the analysis based on the FF MicroPlate system by Biolog®. Thus, a combination of the FF MicroPlate system by Biolog® with the simultaneous calculation of CD and EP indices alongside the concurrent determination of the content of PAHs and activity of oxireductases provides an opportunity to achieve relatively complete characterization of the consequences of a long-term impact of diesel oil on soil fungi.

“…On day 45 of the study, the activity of seven soil enzymes, except catalase (EC 1.11.1.6), was determined with a Perkin-Elmer Lambda 25 spectrophotometer (Ma, USA). The description of substrates and units of activity of the various enzymes was characterized: dehydrogenases (EC 1.1) determined at wavelength ( λ ) 485 nm, urease (EC 3.5.1.5), acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) at 410 nm arylsulfatases (EC 3.1.6.1) at 420 nm by Zaborowska et al ( 2016 ) and β -glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) measured at 400 nm by Borowik et al ( 2017 ).…”

The choice of the study subject was a consequence of the growing interest in volatile organic compounds which are strongly dispersed in the environment. The knowledge of o-cresol’s capability for being broken down by bacteria should be supplemented by studies aimed at determining the biochemical and microbiological activity of soils. o-Cresol was applied at the following rates: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 50 mg of o-cresol kg−1 d.m. of soil to determine its effect on the biological properties of soil. The activity of dehydrogenases, catalase, urease, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, arylsulfatase, and β-glucosidase, the eight groups of microorganism counts, was determined in soil samples after 45 days and the barley yield was determined. Preventive biostimulation with Perna canaliculus mussel meal, illustrated by means of the index of fertility (IF), was conducted in order to eliminate the adverse effect of o-cresol. The soil and crop resistance index (RS) was used to illustrate the response of barley, and R:S—the rhizosphere effect index was used to determine the effect of the crop on the enzymatic activity of soil. o-Cresol had a beneficial effect on the biological activity of soil at an acceptable rate of 0.1 and 1 mg kg−1 d.m. of soil, and it became its inhibitor after being applied at 10 and 50 mg kg−1 d.m. of soil, which also brought about a decrease in the resistance of spring barley. Dehydrogenases are the most sensitive, and catalase is the least sensitive, to the pressure of o-cresol in soil. Mussel meal can be recommended as a biostimulator of soil fertility. It also eliminated the negative effect of o-cresol on its biological activity.

“…Literature shows that enzymatic activity has been repeatedly used in investigations of the condition of the soil environment affected by various degrees of anthropopressure (Cele and Maboeta 2016;Joniec et al 2012Joniec et al , 2015Li et al 2008Li et al , 2009Margesin et al 2000;Taylor et al 2002;Zaborowska et al 2016). In their investigations, Li et al (2009) focused on the potential of analysis of FDA hydrolytic activity and the activity of eight hydrolases for assessment of a long-term impact of heavy metals on soil.…”

Soil material sampled from a reclamation experiment established in a former ''Jeziórko'' Sulphur Mine was analysed. The reclamation was carried out on a soil-less substrate with a particle size distribution of slightly loamy sand characterised by high acidity and poor sorption capacity. The different variants of the experiment consisted in the addition of post-flotation lime, mineral fertilisation, sewage sludge, and mineral wool to the reclaimed soil-less substrate. Next, the plots prepared in this way were sown with a mixture of grasses. A plot without any reclamation treatments served as a control. The analyses consisted in the determination of soil enzymatic parameters. The results obtained revealed a positive effect of the reclamation treatments on the analysed properties. All wastes and combinations thereof introduced into the degraded substrate stimulated catalase, protease, and urease activity. The activity of the other enzymes, i.e. dehydrogenases and acid phosphatase, as well as the level of fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis increased only in objects treated with sewage sludge. In turn, in objects receiving mineral fertilisation, a decline in the acid phosphatase activity was noted. In objects treated with mineral wool, the level of stimulation was dependent on the mode of application of this additive. In general, a mixture of 500 m 3 ha -1 of mineral wool with the substrate proved more beneficial (with the exception of the acid phosphatase activity and fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis). A higher increase in the analysed enzymatic parameters was also found in objects treated with sewage sludge combined with post-flotation lime than in objects where sewage sludge was used alone.
