The aim of this research was to determine the abundance of certain microbial groups and dehydrogenase activity in soils located near busy roads and industrial areas in the city of Novi Sad (Serbia) in the context of their utilization for the production of safe food. Soil microbial and basic chemical properties were determined in nine locations used for different types of agricultural production. The study found positive or negative correlations between microbial abundance and microbial activity on the one hand and chemical soil properties on the other. The abundance of the microbial groups studied was found to be high in the soils but was no correlated with dehydrogenase activity, as low levels of oxido-reduction activity were determined to be present by agricultural soils standards.
