Abstract:
The spatial variability of cellulase, amylase, protease and pectinase activities were evaluated from four zones of West Bengal, India. The enzyme production data was plotted on the map of the study areas and spatial variability of cellulase, amylase, protease and pectinase activity was obtained. Available nitrogen of the soil was the most variable parameter with changing enzyme activity. It also varied with the available phosphorus but the variation was least with organic carbon content of the soil. Amylase was correlated with pectinase, available nitrogen and phosphorus. Cellulase was correlated with only available nitrogen; protease was correlated with pectinase and Pectinase was correlated with available nitrogen of the soil of the four sampling zone. Except protease activity, other enzymes were significantly correlated with bacterial density of the soil. These findings ultimately develop relationship among soil major nutrients and the map can be used for future enzyme bioprospecting in West Bengal, India.
