摘 要:Due to frequent soil Cd contamination and wide use of butachlor in China,there is a need to assess their combined toxicity to soil *** combined effects of cadmium(Cd,10 mg kg-1 soil) and herbicide butachlor(10,50,and 100 mg kg-1 soil) on enzyme activities and microbial community structure in a paddy soil were assessed using the traditional enzyme assays and random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) *** results showed that urease and phosphatase activities were significantly reduced by high butachlor concentration(100 mg kg-1 soil).When the concentrations of Cd and butachlor added were at a ratio of 1:10,urease and phosphatase activities were significantly decreased whereas enzyme activities were greatly improved at the ratio of 1:5,which indicated that the combined effects of Cd and butachlor on soil urease and phosphatase activities depended largely on their addition concentration *** amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) analysis showed loss of original bands and appearance of new bands when compared with the control *** amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprints suggested substantial differences between the control and treated soil samples,with apparent changes in the number and size of amplified DNA *** addition of high concentration butachlor and the combined impacts of Cd and butachlor significantly affected the diversity of the microbial *** analysis in conjunction with other biomarkers such as soil enzyme parameters would prove a powerful ecotoxicological *** investigations should be carried out to understand the clear link between RAPD patterns and enzyme activity.
