The effect of some terrestrial oligochaeta on nitrogenase activity in the soil
1991
Simek, M. | Pizl, V. | Chalupsky, J.
Nitrogenase activity, assayed by the acetylene reduction technique, was estimated on control soils and soils which contained several species of earthworms. The worms and casts were separately assayed for nitrogenase activity. The results indicated that nitrogenase activity was associated with gut content or body surface of worms and also their casts. Nitrogen fixation was also enhanced in soils enriched with enchytraeids in the presence of leaf litter.
