17、753-2:2005(E) iv ISO 2005 All rights reservedForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each memb
18、er body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Ele
19、ctrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adop
20、ted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of pate
21、nt rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 23753-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190, Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 4, Biological methods.

23、 of organic substances, aggregation stability and the carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus cycles. Dehydrogenases, as respiratory chain enzymes, play a major role in the energy production by organisms. They oxidize organic compounds by transferring two hydrogen atoms. Dehydrogenases are essential
24、 components of the enzyme system of microorganisms. Dehydrogenase activity can therefore be used as an indicator of biological redox systems and as a measure of microbial activity in the soil.

25、reserved 1Soil quality Determination of dehydrogenase activity in soils Part 2: Method using iodotetrazolium chloride (INT) 1 Scope This part of ISO 23753 specifies a method for determining soil dehydrogenase activity using 2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride (INT). As th
26、e INT reduction is less sensitive to O2, the method is more reproducible than the TTC-method described in ISO 23753-1. It is not applicable for determining the dehydrogenase activity in upper layers (L, F, H horizons) of forest humus forms with low microbial activity (e.g. mor), or in soils showing
27、reducing properties (e.g. waterlogged soils). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any a
28、mendments) applies.

29、quality Determination of dry matter and water content on a mass basis Gravimetric method 3 Principle INT solution is added to a soil sample and the mixture is incubated at 30 C for 18 h. The iodonitrotetrazolium formazan (INTF) released is extracted with acetone (in the case of humic soil) and deter
30、mined by photometry at a wavelength of 485 nm. NOTE 1 The method is based on a modified version of the method reported in Reference 1. NOTE 2 Acetone is used as extractant and samples are not extracted to completion. In the case of soil having reducing characteristics (e.g. waterlogged soil), dehydr
31、ogenase activity should not be used as a measure of the biological activity in the soil 3. Abiotic components, such as iron(II) compounds or sulfides can reduce INT.

32、s as specified in ISO 10381-6. If samples which have been sieved in the fresh state are not analysed immediately, they may be kept for up to three months at 4 C. Determine the dry matter content of the sample in accordance with ISO 11465. The storage can affect the enzyme activity and hence dehydrog
33、enase activity of samples with different storage times should not be compared. 4.2 Hydrochloric acid, c(HCl) = 1 mol/l. 4.3 Tris buffer solution, c = 0,1 mol/l. Dissolve 12,11 g of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane in 600 ml of distilled water and adjust the pH value to a) 7,7 for soil having a carbon
34、ate content exceeding 2 %, or b) 7,9 for soil having a carbonate content not exceeding 2 % using 1 mol/l hydrochloric acid and make up to 1 000 ml with distilled water. Determine pH value in accordance with ISO 10390. 4.4 Substrate solution (INT) Weigh 900 mg of 2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-
35、phenyltetrazolium chloride into a 100 ml conical flask and wet it on a magnetic stirrer with a portion of 100 ml of tris buffer solution (4.3). Then add the remainder of the tris buffer solution and treat the mixture with an ultrasonic probe for 1 min to 2 min, so that the INT is dissolved as much a
36、s possible and a suspension is obtained. Remove portions of the suspension later while stirring to keep it homogeneous. Determine the soil texture in accordance with ISO 11259. The solubility of INT in pH 7,7 tris buffer solution is at most 5 mg/ml. During incubation there is a slight increase due t
37、o dissolution of INT from the suspension to a maximum of 7 mg/ml. Therefore 9 mg/ml should be used. 4.5 Analytical grade acetone 4.6 INTF solutions 4.6.1 INTF stock solution Weigh 50 mg of iodonitrotetrazolium formazan into a 100 ml-volumetric-flask; dissolve it in acetone; and make up to 100 ml. 4.
38、6.2 INTF calibration solutions Pipette 0 ml, 0,5 ml, 1,0 ml, 2,0 ml, 3,0 ml and 4,0 ml respectively, of stock solution into a series of 50 ml volumetric flasks, add a little acetone (use the solvent which is also being used as extractant in the samples), add 10 ml of tris buffer solution and make up
39、 to the mark with acetone to give concentrations of 0 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 30 g and 40 g INTF per ml of acetone buffer solution. Since INT and INTF are light-sensitive, the solutions should be protected from exposure to light throughout the analysis. BS EN ISO 23753-2:2011ISO 23753-2:2005(E) ISO 2005

Add 2 ml to 5 ml of substrate solution (4.4) to three samples. Pipette 2 ml to 5 ml of tris buffer solution (4.
42、3) instead of the substrate solution (4.4) to the blank sample. Homogenize the samples on the test tube shaker; seal the tubes with rubber stoppers; and incubate them at 30 C in the dark for 18 h. In order to extract the formazan formed, add 20 ml of acetone to the samples and allow them to stand fo
43、r 2 h in the dark. Shake the samples on the shaker after adding the extractant, after 1 h, and again after 2 h. Then filter the samples in semidarkness using a fluted filter.
