Ionic liquids (ILs) are extensively used in several chemistry fields. And research about the effects of ILs on soil microbes is needed. In this study, brown soil was exposed to 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim]Br), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₆mim]Br) and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₁₀mim]Br). The toxicities of the three ILs are evaluated by measuring the soil culturable microbial number, enzyme activity, microbial diversity and, abundance of the ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) genes of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA). Results showed that all tested ILs caused a decrease in culturable microbial abundance. Tested ILs exposure inhibit urease activity and promote acid phosphatase and β-glucosidase activities. Tested ILs reduced soil microbial diversity and the abundances of AOB-amoA and AOA-amoA genes significantly. After a comparison of the integrated biomarker response (IBR) index, the toxicities of tested ILs to soil microorganisms were as follows: [C₁₀mim]Br > [C₆mim]Br > [C₄mim]Br. Among all collected biomarkers, the abundance of the AOA-amoA gene was the most sensitive one and was easily affected after ILs exposure.
