The respiratory intensity, the activity of several soil enzymes and the soil fertilities were also comparatively determined in the original soil with those in the casts.The results indi-caties that the genera or groups and the number of bacteria, actinomycetes and gungi in the three samples were decreased during the passage through earthworm gut. The numbe...
