摘要：Ascorbic acid is a bacteriostatic agent; one of the many ways by which ascorbic acidhampers bacterial growth is by the production of hydrogen peroxide, which further converts intohydroxyl free radicals. Certain amino acids can counteract the inhibitory effect of hydroxyl freeradicals by checking their oxidizing effect. Though ascorbic acid is bacteriostatic in nature, it facilitatesprokaryotic respiration by decarboxylation. This study was carried out to understand how microbesfrom different horizons of the forest soil respond to the addition of a bacteriostatic agent (ascorbic acid)and growth promoting agent (amino acids), with respect to the soil respiration. We observed that theaddition of either ascorbic acid or a combination of it with amino acid consistently results in increasedsoil respiration, and this increase is different for different soil types depending on soil compositionand origin. Furthermore, we also found that beta alanine-induced maximum respiration in basic soilsand L-glutamic in acidic soils. This study is significant because it can be used to explain how a strongreducing sugar, i.e., ascorbic acid, affects the soil respiration 体育博彩平台排名 via soil microbes. To the bestof our knowledge, it is the first report that demonstrates the effect of bacteriostatic and the growthpromoting agent together on microbe-体育博彩平台排名 soil respiration.
