The aim of this course is to teach to students defining reaction mechanisms of microbial enzymes and understanding relationships between soil enzymes and soil quality.
Structure and classification of soil microbial enzymes, enzymes involved in phosphorus, carbon, sulphur and nitrogen-metabolism.
| 1. | Able to define structure, reactions, localizations and importance of soil enzymes |
| 2. | Able to connect between soil quality and soil microbial enzymes |
| 3. | Able to make a list of the applications affecting microbial enzyme activity |
| 4. | Capable of defining the role of soil enzymes in soil-plant relationships |
| 5. | Able to apply soil enzyme analyses and evaluate the results |
