Abstract
Transformations occurring to soil microorganisms, especially Gram-negative bacteria, following soil dehydration, were observed by transmission electron microscopy. A special protective role of extracellular polysaccharides was confirmed. These observations were supplemented by a study of soil oxygen consumption during the experiment. This demonstrated that soil was not biologically inactive even after a long period of dehydration.
