Synthesis of Phenylboronic Acid-Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles for Sensitive Soil Enzyme Assays

Abstract: Soil enzymes, such as invertase, urease, acidic phosphatase and catalase, play critical roles in soil biochemical reactions and are involved in soil fertility. However, it remains a great challenge to efficiently concentrate soil enzymes and sensitively assess enzyme activity. In this study, we synthesized phenylboronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles to rapidly capture soil enzymes for sensitive soil enzyme assays. The iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were firstly prepared by the co-precipi… Show more

“…The enzyme activity of rhizosphere substrate, closely related to the growth and development of seedlings, has the function of accelerating soil biochemical reactions, and plays an important role in the ecosystem. Its activity is closely related to soil physical and chemical properties and environmental conditions, etc., and is regarded as an early warning indicator of changes in soil quality [15]. The role of urease is, specifically, to catalyze the breakdown of urea to ammonium and carbonic acid [16], with significant differences in enzyme activity between substrates (Figure 2).…”

“…To assess the intensity of microbial activity in soil, the activity of specific enzymes [23] such as sucrase [24], amylase [25], glucosidase [26], urease [27], dehydrogenase [28], catalase [29], phosphatase [30], etc., are determined. Among all soil enzymes, dehydrogenases are one of the most important and are used as an indicator of the overall microbial activity of the soil, because they are produced by soil microorganisms intracellularly and capable of multiplication.…”

“…The relatively simple methodology for determining the biological properties of forest soils has led to a large number of scientific studies on carbon sequestration, enzymatic activity, and fungal communities [7,8,[11][12][13][14][15]20,22,26,29,[31][32][33][34][51][52][53][54]. However, when it comes to forest soils, the number of studies decreases [10,[16][17][18][19]23,27,28,36,38,[55][56][57][58], and even more so in the case of forest soils affected by various natural or anthropogenic disturbances [21,35,43,[59][60][61]. The number of studies is particularly limited for soils in areas affected by windthrow events [62][63][64][65][66].…”
