Fatty acid profiling of soil microbial communities : a comparison of extraction methods and temporal dynamics in plant residue amended soils

Creator:

Fernandes, Marcelo Ferreira

Abstract:

A method based on fatty acid (FA) analysis is used to profile microbial community structure (MCS). Various extraction protocols are available, which alter the types of FAs extracted from soils. The more time consuming but widely used protocol extracts only FAs from phospholipids (PLFA). This technique is desirable because PLFAs...
