Prof. Paolo Nannipieri

ESR 10 project will monitor urease, protease, alkaline and acid phosphomonoesterase and B-glucosidase activities on soils from European test sites. Measurements by the newly released ISO 190/SC4 method based on fluorogenic substrates will be compared with enzyme activities measured by colorimetric protocols based on p-nitrophenyl derivates.

Research Objectives: 

Monitor urease, protease, alkaline and acid phosphomonoesterase and B-glucosidase activities on soils for validation of enzyme based methods.
