Degradation of contaminants may occur with bacteria that have been isolated from pristine environments without established exposure to the contaminants, and exhibit no dependence on substrate concentration. For example, organisms from a previously unexposed forest soil were able to degrade 2,4,6-trichlorophenol at concentrations up to 5000 ppm, and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis revealed that at concentrations up to 500 ppm, the bacterial community was unaltered (Sanchez et al. 2004).

The qCC>2 is often used as an indicator of whether the microbial biomass is under stress. In general, factors that decrease the size of the microbial biomass tend to increase qC02. That is, factors that cause stress to the microbial community tend to reduce its size. Other factors could also contribute to an increased qC02. For example, bacterial communities are less efficient at converting substrate C into cellular C than fungi (Sakamoto and Oba 1994) so a change in the composition of microbial biomass can alter qC02 values.

Antibiotic resistance profiles of the bacterial communities reflected the effects of deforestation and the land degradation (Fig. 2). The degradation was significant (p=0.05) as a source of variation for the numbers of soil bacterial cells resistant to lasalocid, penicillin, spectinomycin and trimethoprim, and marginally significant (0.50 Significant differences between two average values were observed for some antibiotics. When compared with the BG soil bacterial community, the DEF soil bacterial community had more bacterial cells resistant to dapson, kanamycin, lasalocid, nafcillin, penicillin, spectinomycin, streptomycin and trimethoprim.
