Abstract

The results of the study confirm the significance of clay minerals as a factor influencing the biochemical activity of soil microorganisms. The soil microflora is influenced both by the direct effect of clays on the microbial cells and indirectly, by their effect on the environment. The direct effect is projected into fundamental processes of the cycle of biogenic elements, including humification processes. The character and mechanism of the effect depend on the species of microorganism, on the quality and quantity of the mineral sorbents present in the soil and on other ecological factors. A further study will be carried out to investigate different aspects of the influence of clay minerals on the incidence, growth and biochemical activity of soil microorganisms.
