Journal ArticleDOI
Soil bacterial and fungal communities across a pH gradient in an arable soil.
Johannes Rousk,Erland Bååth,Philip C. Brookes,Christian L. Lauber,Catherine A. Lozupone,J. Gregory Caporaso,Rob Knight,Rob Knight,Noah Fierer,Noah Fierer +9 more
TL;DR: Soils collected across a long-term liming experiment were used to investigate the direct influence of pH on the abundance and composition of the two major soil microbial taxa, fungi and bacteria, and both the relative abundance and diversity of bacteria were positively related to pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of phospholipid fatty acid analysis to estimate bacterial and fungal biomass in soil
Åsa Frostegård,Erland Bååth +1 more
TL;DR: The cell content of 12 bacterial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) was determined in bacteria extracted from soil by homogenization/centrifugation and the soil content of the PLFA 18:2ω6 was correlated with the ergosterol content, which supports the use of this PLFA as an indicator of fungal biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholipid Fatty Acid composition, biomass, and activity of microbial communities from two soil types experimentally exposed to different heavy metals.
TL;DR: Effects on the PLFA patterns were found at levels of metal contamination similar to or lower than those at which effects on ATP content, soil respiration, or total amount of PLFAs had occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting Soil pH Effects on Fungal and Bacterial Growth Suggest Functional Redundancy in Carbon Mineralization
TL;DR: The influence of pH on the relative importance of the two principal decomposer groups in soil, fungi and bacteria, was investigated along a continuous soil pH gradient at Hoosfield acid strip at Rothamsted Research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifts in the structure of soil microbial communities in limed forests as revealed by phospholipid fatty acid analysis
TL;DR: Analysis of phospholipid fatty acid composition of soils from two areas in the south of Sweden indicated that the increased pH caused a shift in the bacterial community to more Gram-negative and fewer Gram-positive bacteria, while the amount of fungi was unaffected.
