Abstract:According to the resource allocation model for extracellular enzyme synthesis, microorganisms should preferentially allocate their resources to phosphorus (P)-acquiring enzyme synthesis when P availability is low in soils. However, the validity of this model across different soil types and soils differing in their microbial community composition has not been well demonstrated. Here we investigated whether the resource allocation model for phosphatase synthesis is applicable across different soil types (Andosols, Acrisols, Cambisols, and Fluvisols) and land uses (arable and forest), and we examined which soil test P and/or P fraction microorganisms responded to when investing their resources in phosphatase synthesis in the soils. The ratio of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) to β-d-glucosidase (BG) activities in the arable soils and the ratio of acid phosphatase (ACP) to BG activities in the forest soils were significantly negatively related with the available inorganic P concentration. We also observed significant effects of available inorganic P, pH, soil types, and land uses on the (ACP + ALP)/BG ratio when the data for the arable and forest soils were combined and used in a stepwise multiple regression analysis. These results suggest that microbial resource allocation for phosphatase synthesis is primarily controlled by available inorganic P concentration and soil pH, but the effects of soil types and land uses are also significant.
