Soil beta-glucosidase (BG), the rate-limiting enzyme in the final step of cellulose hydrolysis, plays a key role in microbial metabolism, carbon (C) cycling and sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems. Biochar application is known to affect soil BG activity; however, most of the biochar studies have focused on the potential activity of BG, and it is not clear how biochar influences the kinetic and thermodynamic behavior of BG in the soil. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of maize residue biochar on soil BG kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. Soil BG kinetic (V-max and K-m) and thermodynamic (E-a, Delta H-a and Q(10)) parameters were determined within soils (clayey and sandy loam soils) amended with either maize residue (as positive control) or its biochar (600 degrees C) at 0.5 and 1.0% ratios (w/w), and the mixtures were incubated for 90 days. BG showed an increase in potential enzymatic activity (81%), enzyme concentration (higher V-max value) (25%) and substrate affinity (lower K-m value) (32%) in the biochar-amended sandy loam soil only at high addition rates compared with the control, and an increase by about 86% of the catalytic efficiency (V-max/K-m). In the clayey soil, biochar addition decreased potential BG activity (by 10-29%), increased the V-max value (by 20-25%) and had no impact on enzyme-substrate binding affinity, but still increased the catalytic efficiency by 47-72%. Adsorption of soil BG by biochar particles did not affect the catalytic efficiency in the soil. Generally, application of maize residue biochar to the soil decreased the E-a, Delta H-a and Q(10) values of BG compared with the negative controls at both biochar rates in the light-textured soil and only at low biochar rate in heavy-textured soil. The direction and magnitude of BG responses (activity, kinetics, and thermodynamics) to biochar were more related to the soil characteristics. Biochar would increase soil BG thermal stability and decrease its sensitivity to increasing temperature and global warming.
