Phosphatase enzymes are also used by /RN%20Number%5D)
soil microorganisms to access organically
bound phosphate nutrients. An
assay on the rates of activity of
these enzymes may be used to
ascertain biological demand for
phosphates in the soil. Reference ranges for blood tests, showing acid phosphatase in red at left.
Some plant roots, especially
cluster roots, exude carboxylates that perform acid phosphatase activity, helping to mobilise phosphorus in
nutrient-deficient soils.

Certain bacteria like Nocardia, can degrade this enzyme and utilize it as a carbon source.
