Research Abstract |
A novel calorimetric method for analyzing functional properties of soil microbes including VBNC microbes was developed. Exothermic processes of carbon-source assimilation by soil microbes were directly observed using soil samples as they were, and calorimetric parameters which characterize the exothermic procedures were evaluated for each combination of soil sample and carbon source. It was shown that functional properties of soil microbes, such as resistibility of microbes against chemicals and functional diversity of soil microbes, can be quantitatively evaluated on the basis of the analysis of the parameters.
