Zusammenfassung |
The respiratory release of CO2 from soils is
a major determinant of the global carbon cycle. It is traditionally
considered that this respiration is an intracellular metabolism consisting
of complex biochemical reactions carried out by numerous enzymes and
co-factors. Here we show that the endoenzymes released from dead organisms
are stabilised in soils and have access to suitable substrates and
co-factors to permit function. These enzymes reconstitute an extracellular
oxidative metabolism (EXOMET) that may
substantially contribute to soil respiration (16 to 48% of
CO2 released from soils in the present study).
EXOMET and respiration from living organisms
should be considered separately when studying effects of environmental
factors on the C cycle because EXOMET shows
specific properties such as resistance to high temperature and toxic
compounds. |
