Development of Substrate Induced Respiration (SIR) Method Combined with Selective Inhibition for Estimating Fungal andBacterial Biomass in Humic Andosols

A substrate-induced respiration (SIR) method combined with selective inhibition for estimating the fungal and bacterial biomass of volcanic ash of Kanto Loam type (Humic Andosols) was developed. The optimum time for CO2 measurement was 2-4 hr after glucose application and the amount to be applied wa...
