Priming and microbial nutrient limitation in lowland tropical forest soils of contrasting fertility (2012, background): “The enzyme N-acetyl b-glucosaminidase is mostly present in soils in extracellular forms (Parham and Deng 2000) and can be produced by microorganisms in response to N-deficiency to acquire N from organic matter (Sinsabaugh and Moorhead 1994; Olander and Vitousek 2000; Muruganandama et al. 2009).”
Microbial enzyme activities in leaf litter, humus and mineral soil layers of European forests (2004, background): “Chitin is an important polysaccharide (biopolymer) in soil mainly originating from fungal cell walls, so b-glucosaminidase may thus exhibit an important role in both C and N cycling (Parham and Deng, 2000).”
Invasion of Solidago gigantea in contrasting experimental plant communities: effects on soil microbes, nutrients and plant–soil feedbacks (2010, methodology): “…mixed in a centrifuge tube with 4 mL buffer (Tris, pH 6.0, or Na-acetate-trihydrate, pH 5.5) and 1 mL of the appropriate substrate analogue (25 mM p-nitrophenyl-b-d-glucopyranoside, 10 mM p-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-b-d-glucosamidine, or 10 mM p-nitrophenylphosphate) according to Parham & Deng (2000).”
Pyrosequencing analysis for characterization of soil bacterial populations as affected by an integrated livestock-cotton production system (2010, methodology): “…N (b-glucosaminidase) and P (i.e., alkaline phosphatase) cycling were evaluated using 1 g of air-dried soil ( 5 mm) with their appropriate substrate and incubated for 1 h (37 8C) at their optimal pH as described previously (Tabatabai, 1994 or Parham and Deng, 2000 for bglucosaminidase activity).”
Mechanisms of real and apparent priming effects and their dependence on soil microbial biomass and community structure: critical review (2008, background): “It has been suggested that the determination of βglucosaminidase activity can be used as an indicator of fungal activity because this extracellular enzyme was highly correlated with fungal biomass (Miller et al. 1998; Parham and Deng 2000).”
A comprehensive review on biodegradable polymers and their blends used in controlled-release fertilizer processes (2015, background): “1983, Parham and Deng 2000, Wu and Liu 2008, Jamnongkan and Kaewpirom 2010b).”
β-Glucosaminidase activity of soils: effect of cropping systems and its relationship to nitrogen mineralization (2002, methodology): “Recently Parham and Deng (2000) reported on its quantification and characterization in soils, and developed a method for its assay.”
Responses of enzymatic activities within soil aggregates to 9-year nitrogen and water addition in a semi-arid grassland (2015, methodology): “The procedures for the assays of NAG and PME activities were the same as for BG except using pnitrophenyl-N-acetyl-b-D-glucosaminidine and p-nitrophenylphosphate as the substrate and buffering pH of reaction systems to 5.5 (Parham and Deng, 2000) and 6.5 (Tabatabai, 1994), respectively.”
Soil microbial diversity and activity linked to crop yield and quality in a dryland organic wheat production system (2016, methodology): “Produced by both bacteria and fungi, b-glucosaminidase degrades chitin (Parham and Deng, 2000) and”
Drought effects on microbial biomass and enzyme activities in the rhizosphere of grasses depend on plant community composition (2011, background): “Higher chitinase activities may indicate the stimulation of fungi under drought (Parham and Deng, 2000; Kreyling et al., 2008), as chitinase degrades chitin from fungal or arthropod origin (Chung et al.”
