Abstract
Microbiological indicators can be used for the assessment of the ecological condition of soils affected by various environmental and anthropogenic factors. The objective of the study was to estimate the causative effect of sludge from dairy sewage treatment plant on enzymatic activity of dehydrogenases, protease and urease and on nitrogen transformations (intensity of ammonification and nitrification) in a brown soil. The microbiological and biochemical tests applied proved to be sensitive indicators of the biological properties of soil fertilised with sludge from a dairy sewage treatment plant.

A better understanding of the relations between microbial diversity and soil functions requires not only the use of more accurate assays for taxonomically and functionally characterizing DNA and RNA extracted from soil, but also high‐resolution techniques with which to detect inactive and active microbial cells in the soil matrix.

This review focuses on recent progress that has been made in understanding the enzymology and bioenergetics of respiratory nitrite ammonification and the proteins predicted by these genes are unrelated in the two bacteria but similar to proteins of the respective conventional cytochrome c biogenesis systems.

Soil enzyme activities have great potential to provide a unique integrative biological assessment of soils and the possibility of assessing the health of the soil biota and must always be considered in conjunction with other biological and physicochemical measurements if the authors are to diagnose soil health correctly.

Significant increases of phosphodiesterase activity were nevertheless produced by the high rate of aerobic sludge and the mid and high rates of the anaerobic sludge, despite the large differences between treatments observed.

Under severe dry conditions, soil microbial activity always remained higher in organic amended soils than when mineral fertilizer was added, and under water-deficit conditions activities were more reduced in SS than in C and M.
