Abstract
Determination of easily available organic matter (for microorganisms) in soil extracts may be based on measurements of the increment in Ps. fluorescens population, as it was illustrated by experiments with a ty pical. chernozem and a sod-podzolic soil. Quantification may comprise either routing probes, or microscopic observations on multiplication a nd migration rates on a hard surface. Equations of regression are give n to compute concentrations of easily available organic matter.
