Abstract | The initial steps of complex organic matter degradation in soil comprise several oxidative processes catalyzed by phenol oxidases and peroxidases. Commonly, their activity is determined by colorimetric approaches based on a range of substrates, making comparison between studies difficult. To improve this shortcoming, we conducted a calibration procedure for assessing phenol oxidase and peroxidase activities in soils by a sensitive fluorometric assay. This assay is based on the colorless and non-fluorescent Amplex Red as a substrate, which forms a fluorescent product, resorufin, upon oxidation. Commercially available resorufin was used as a standard for calibration. We applied Michaelis-Menten kinetics to determine functional traits of phenol oxidases and peroxidases in a case study on Haplic Chernozem from different land-use and climate treatments of a field experiment. The kinetic parameters, limit of detection and limit of quantification demonstrated a high sensitivity of the fluorometric assay to differences caused by these treatments. For the total oxidative enzymes, the catalytic efficiency (Kcat, calculated as Vmax/Km) was 30% higher in the cropland compared to the pasture plot. However, compared to soil samples collected from ambient climatic conditions, Kcat of total oxidoreductases was 60% lower in cropland exposed to elevated air temperature and drought. The phenol oxidase activity was substantially higher than peroxidase activity in cropland land-use. However, higher Kcat of peroxidase than phenol oxidase resulted in 60% faster substrate turnover under both climatic conditions. In our case study, the Amplex Red-based assay enabled rapid and high-throughput analyses of phenol oxidase and peroxidase activity in soil. The sensitivity of this assay for soil enzymology applications needs further testing for a larger range of soils and environmental conditions. |
