Microbiological research on the enzymologic potential of Arie river (Romania) sediments

Ten sediment samples from Arie river were collected and these samples have beenanalyzed qualitatively enzymologically. In the sediment samples, the following enzymatic activitieshave been qualitatively determined: four oligase activities: maltase, saccharase, lactase and cellobiaseand three polyase activities: amylase, dextranase and inulinase. The studied activities weredetermined in each samples and displayed variations in the intensities of the processes depending onthe sampling place. Generally, the highest intensity of qualitative enzimatic activities were registeredin case of the oligases.
