RESUMEN

Azo dyes are one of the largest classes of synthetic dyes being used in textile industries. It has been reported that 15-50% of these dyes find their way into wastewater that is often used for irrigation purpose in developing countries. The effect of azo dyes contamination on soil nitrogen (N) has been studied previously. However, how does the azo dye contamination affect soil carbon (C) cycling is unknown. Therefore, we assessed the effect of azo dye contamination (Reactive Black 5, 30 mg kg-1 dry soil), bacteria that decolorize this dye and dye + bacteria in the presence or absence of maize leaf litter on soil respiration, soil inorganic N and microbial biomass. We found that dye contamination did not induce any change in soil respiration, soil microbial biomass or soil inorganic N availability (P > 0.05). Litter evidently increased soil respiration. Our study concludes that the Reactive Black 5 azo dye (applied in low amount, i.e., 30 mg kg-1 dry soil) contamination did not modify organic matter decomposition, N mineralization and microbial biomass in a silty loam soil.

RESUMEN

In the present study, we reported for the first time the effect of various concentrations (0.5- 3.0 mM) of Mg(2+) and Al(3+) ions on the kinetics and thermodynamics of Aspergillus niger invertases for sucrose hydrolysis. We found that both metal ions enhanced the affinity of invertase for sucrose by decreasing the Km. In the presence of 0.5 mM Al(3+) ions invertase have maximum affinity for sucrose (Km = 0.00914 M sucrose). Invertase was activated by Mg(2+) ions at low concentrations (0.5-2.0 mM) and 341% increase in turnover (Kcat) and maximum decrease in ΔG* was observed in the presence of 0.5 mM Mg(2+) ions. The entropy change for activation of substrate hydrolysis (ΔS*) was increased by all concentrations of Mg(2+) ions and was highest (-94 J mol(-1) K(-1)) for invertases bound with 1.5 mM Mg(2+) ions.
