%X this research was carried out to calculate the microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen content in red ferralitic soils from the havana province, using the ¡°fumigation and extraction¡± method. for this work soil samples were taken from four different sites (bainoa, la salud, quivic¨¢n and guanajay) with different physicalchemical characteristics, including organic matter content which ranged from 2.8 and 5%. the sensibility of the methods employed was asssessed using the mean standard error as statistical parameter. the c content in soil microbial biomass ranged from 289 and 425 ¦Ìg/g of soil (289 - 425 mg/kg of soil) and had it a significant correlation by soil organic matter content. on the other hand, n content in soil microbial biomass ranged from 62 and 90 ¦Ìg/g of soil (62-90 mg/kg of soil), and had it a significant correlation by soil nitrogen content. the mean standard error of microbial c determinations ranged from 2 and 16, being slightly superior to previous reports, while the mean standard error of the microbial n determinations were among adequate limits. finally, this methodology was adapted to laboratory conditions.
