With 3 natural soils from western and central Norway it was shown that by homogenization and fractionated centrifugations 2 fractions could be obtained, 1 containing 50-80% of the bacteria and the other all the fungi, soil debris and rest of the bacteria. When the separation was carried out in the cold for less than 3-4 h, the fractions if used immediately had constant respiratory rates for 1-2 h. The sum of the rates agreed well with that of an unfractionated soil homogenate, making it possible to calculate the ratio between bacterial and fungal respiration. Assuming that the much higher respiration in a homogenate than in intact soil is due to inhibitory conditions in the latter and that these can be analyzed by separate experiments, the technique permits estimates of the ratio between bacterial and fungal respiration in in situ soil under given conditions. The soils used had very great differences between plate and microscopic count values for bacteria. When based on plate counts the calculated bacterial respiratory intensities became impossibly high, while they were within biologically possible limits when microscopic count values were used. The respiratory intensities for fungi when calculated from hyphal lengths and diameter measurements were biologically possible.
