INTRODUCTION
• A dehydrogenase (also called DHA or DHase) is
an enzyme belonging to the group of oxidoreductase that
oxidizes a substrate by reducing an electron acceptor.
• Determination of DHA in the soil samples gives information
about biological characteristic of the soil.
• Soil DHA strongly increases under anaerobic conditions.
• Red colors of soil - DHA is higher.
• Light red colors soil - lower DHA.
DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY IN SOIL
• Dehydrogenases are the important indicator of soil microbial
activity - microbial oxido-reduction processes.
• DHA play a significant role in the biological oxidation of SOM
by transferring hydrogen from organic substrates to inorganic
acceptors.
• Many specific dehydrogenases transfer hydrogen to either
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide phosphate.
• DHA serves as an indicator of the microbiological redox-
systems.
• DHA is considered a good and adequate measure of microbial
oxidative activities in soil.
Contd…
• DHA is known to oxidize SOM by transfering protons and
electrons from substrate to acceptors.
• DHA is used to measure any disruption caused by pesticides,
trace elements to the soil.
• Higher enzyme activity - lower the amount of pesticides.
SOIL FACTORS INFLUENCE DHA…
1. Soil Moisture.
• Water availability - affects soil enzymatic activities.
• Soils dry - water potential ↑ - enzyme activity ↓.
• Wet soils - increased soil solution soluble OM -
bacterial population ↑.
2. Soil aeration.
• Soil water content ↓ - Oxygen Diffusion Rate (ODR) and redox
potential ↑ - favourable for DHA.
3. Organic Matter Content.
• Soil OM as an indicator of soil quality.
• Its character of nutrient sink and source enhance soil physical
and chemical properties, and also promote biological activity.
• The higher OM - higher microbial biomass - higher enzyme
production.
4. pH.
Enzyme activities tend to increase with soil pH.
5. Temperature.
• Its activity is highest at a temperature close to optimum temp (5 –
30 ̊ C) for mo growth and their development.
• The rate of enzyme catalysis increases with increase in
temperature until the unfavorable temperature, at which enzyme
becomes denaturized and hence its activity reduces.
6. Depth of soil Profile.
• Highest mo abundance in the surface layer of the soil profile
(till to the depth of 30 cm),
• At deepest part of the soil the no.of.microbial cells is limited,
and also DHA level at diminishing trend.
7. Fertilizer.
• Inorganic fertilizers had relatively less effect on soil enzymes
activity than organic fertilizers.
• DHA usually reached higher level in the organic treatments.
8. Heavy metals.
• Heavy metals can reduce enzyme activity by interacting with the
enzyme-substrate complex, denaturing the enzyme protein or
interacting with the protein-active groups.
