Soil quality - Determination of soil microbial biomass - Part 2: Fumigation-extraction method (ISO 14240-2:1997)
This part of IS0 14240 specifies a method for the estimation of microbial biomass of soils by measurement of total extractable organic biomass material mainly from freshly killed microorganisms. The method is also applicable to the estimation of microbial nitrogen and microbial ninhydrin-reactive nitrogen in soil, but this part of IS0 14240 describes only the measurement of extractable organic carbon. The fumigation-extraction (FE) method is applicable to aerobic and anaerobic (water-logged, paddy) soils over the whole range of soil pH. Biomass can be also measured in soils containing actively decomposing substrates and soils supersaturated with potassium sulfate solution.
Bodenbeschaffenheit - Bestimmung der mikrobiellen Biomasse von Böden - Teil 2: Fumigations-Extraktionsverfahren (ISO 14240-2:1997)
Dieser Teil von ISO 14240 legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung der mikrobiellen Biomasse von Böden durch Messung der gesamten extrahierbaren organischen Biomasse aus frisch abgetöteten Mikroorganismen fest. Das Verfahren kann auch für die Bestimmung des mikrobiellen Stickstoffs und mikrobiellen Ninhydrin-reaktiven Stickstoffs in Böden verwendet werden, jedoch ist im Rahmen dieses Teils von ISO 14240 nur die Messung von extrahierbarem organischem Kohlenstoff beschrieben. Das Fumigations-Extraktions-Verfahren ist auf aerobe und anaerobe (vernässte, Reisfeld-) Böden über den gesamten pH-Bereich anwendbar. Die Biomasse kann auch in Böden gemessen werden, die leicht zersetzbare Substrate enthalten und in Böden, die mit Kaliumsulfat-Lösung übersättigt sind.
ANMERKUNG Die Fumigation mit Chloroform beeinflusst ebenfalls die Bodenfauna. Der Kohlenstoffbeitrag dieser Organismen ist üblicherweise gering (< 5 %) und kann in der Regel vernachlässigt werden.
Qualité du sol - Détermination de la biomasse microbienne du sol - Partie 2 : Méthode par fumigation-extraction (ISO 14240-2:1997)
La présente partie de l'ISO 14240 prescrit une méthode pour l'estimation de la biomasse microbienne des sols par mesurage de la matière extractible totale de biomasse organique, essentiellement à partir de microorganismes venant d'être tués. La méthode est également applicable à l'estimation de l'azote microbien et de l'azote microbien réagissant à la ninhydrine dans les sols; toutefois, seul le mesurage du carbone organique extractible est décrit dans le cadre de la présente partie de l'ISO 14240. La méthode par fumigation-extraction (FE) est applicable aux sols aérobies et anaérobies (saturés, irrigués) dans toute la gamme des pH du sol. La biomasse peut également être mesurée dans des sols contenant des substrats en décomposition active et dans des sols sursaturés de solution de sulfate de potassium.
NOTE -- La fumigation au chloroforme affecte également la faune du sol. La contribution du carbone de ces organismes est généralement faible (< 5 %) et peut en règle générale être négligée.
Kakovost tal - Določevanje talne mikrobne biomase - 2. del: Ekstrakcijska metoda z zaplinjanjem (ISO 14240-2:1997)
Ta del IS0 14240 določa metodo za ocenjevanje mikrobne biomase v tleh z merjenjem skupne izločljive organske biomase, ki v glavnem prihaja iz sveže ubitih mikroorganizmov. Metoda se uporablja tudi za ocenjevanje mikrobnega dušika in mikrobnega ninhidronsko reaktivnega dušika v tleh, vendar ta del IS0 14240 opisuje le merjenje izločljivega organskega ogljika. Ekstrakcijska metoda z zaplinjanjem (FE) se uporablja za aerobna in anaerobna (prepojena, namočena z vodo) tla v celotnem razponu pH tal. Biomasa se lahko meri tudi v tleh, ki vsebujejo aktivno razpadajoče substrate, in tleh, prenasičenih z raztopino kalijevega sulfata.

Soil microflora is responsible for the degradation of organic matter, stability of aggregates and most nutrient cycling which occurs in soils. The purpose of determining the microbial biomass of soils is to allow assessment of the continued maintenance of soil fertility, the potential ability to degrade added organic materials, and the effects of added materials on the natural microbial population.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD o IS0 IS0 14240-2: 1997(E) Soil quality - Determination of soil microbial biomass - Part 2: Fumigation-extraction method 1 Scope This part of IS0 14240 specifies a method for the estimation of microbial biomass of soils by measurement of total extractable organic biomass material mainly from freshly killed microorganisms. The method is also applicable to the estimation of microbial nitrogen and microbial ninhydrin-reactive nitrogen in soil, but this part of IS0 14240 describes only the measurement of extractable organic carbon. The fumigation-extraction (FE) method is applicable to aerobic and anaerobic (water-logged, paddy) soils over the whole range of soil pH. Biomass can be also measured in soils containing actively decomposing substrates and soils supersaturated with potassium sulfate solution. NOTE - Chloroform fumigation also affects soil fauna. The contribution of carbon from these organisms is generally small (< 5 %) and can usually be neglected. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IS0 14240.

Dead cells and cell fragments may be detected when carbon or nitrogen analysis is used but only intact cells will be detected when respiration is measured. SIST EN ISO 14240-2:2011
IS0 14240-2: 1997(E) 0 IS0 4 Principle Through fumigation of the soil sample, intact microbial cells are lysed and the microbial organic matter released. Nonliving soil organic matter is not seriously affected by such fumigation. Soil samples are fumigated with chloroform for 24 h. The organic carbon extracted using 05 mol/l potassium sulfate is determined in fumigated and unfumigated samples, and the difference in extracted organic carbon is used to determine microbial biomass carbon. The method is usually termed fumigation-extraction (FE). 5 Materials and reagents 5.6 Soils Guidance for the collection, handling and storage of soil (IS0 10381-6) shall be followed, as far as applicable. Sieve the soil samples at approximately 40 % water-holding capacity (WHC) if homogeneous samples are required. Determine the soil WHC in accordance with annex A. The water content of samples shall be higher than 30 % WHC to ensure uniform chloroform distribution and effective fumigation. Take care to avoid smearing and compaction of wet soil in this method. Samples of waterlogged soils do not have to be dried prior to analysis. 5.2 Reagents Reagents of recognized analytical grade shall be used, including: 5.2.1 Silicone grease (medium viscosity). 5.2.2 Ethanol-free chloroform. WARNING - In the presence odourless and highly toxic. of light, ethanol-free chloroform degrades rapidly to form phosgene 5.2.3 Potassium sulfate solution, c(K,SO,) = 05 mol/l (p = 87,135 g/l)= 5.2.4 Soda lime. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Room, or incubator, capable of being maintained at (25 * 2) “C. 6.2 Implosion-protected desiccator. 6.3 Filter paper’). 6.4 Glass beakers. 6.5 Petri dishes. 6.6 Polyethylene bottles, of capacity 250 ml. is 1) Whatman No. 42, Schleicher & Schijll 595 l/2, Machery & Nagel 261 G l/4, are examples of suitable products available commercially.

Line the desiccator (6.2) with moist filter paper (6.3) for fumigation of the soil samples. Weigh at least three samples of moist soil (5.1), each containing a mass equivalent to 25 to 50 g of oven-dry soil, into glass beakers (6.4) or Petri dishes (6.5) and place them in the desiccator with a beaker containing 25 ml of ethanol-free chloroform (5.2.2) and a few antibumping granules (6.10), and a beaker with soda lime (5.2.4). Evacuate the desiccator until the chloroform has boiled vigorously for approximately 2 min. Close the vacuum tap on the desiccator and incubate in the dark (6.1) at (25 t 2) “C for 22 h to 24 h. If there is insufficient soil available, use smaller samples provided the ratio of soil mass to volume of extractant is kept the same (1:4). In soils containing more than 20 % organic material (as determined according to IS0 10694), increase the ratio soil:extract above I:4 (to a maximum of I:30 for soils containing 95 % organic matter, e.g. L-layer) in order to obtain sufficient extracted matter. Record the mass of soil used. After fumigation is completed, remove the beaker containing the chloroform and the filter paper from the desiccators. Remove the chloroform vapour from the soil by repeated evacuation (6 times for 2 min each) in the desiccator. The samples are ready for extraction. Place three unfumigated, moist control samples (50 g dry mass) into polyethylene bottles (6.6) and immediately extract with 200 ml of the potassium sulfate (5.2.3), as indicated in 7.2. 7.2 Extraction To extract organic carbon, transfer the soil quantitatively to polyethylene bottles (6.6), add 200 ml of potassium sulfate (5.2.3), shake the bottles on a horizontal shaker (6.8) at 200 r/min for 30 min or an overhead shaker at 60 r/min for 45 min and filter the extracts through a folded filter paper (6.3). Extract the unfumigated controls and filter the extracts in the same way. If not analyzed at once, store the extracts of fumigated and unfumigated soil samples in the freezer (6.9) at between -15 “C and -20 “C. Homogenize frozen extracts before use, after thawing at room temperature. NOTES 1 A white precipitate occurs during storage of the potassium sulfate soil extracts (especially if the samples are frozen) because they are usually supersaturated with calcium sulfate (CaSO,). It is unnecessary to dissolve this excess CaSO, because it does not interfere with any of the analytical procedures described in this method. 2 Cell membranes of young, living roots are also affected by chloroform fum
