Examining the effect of rotation sequence on biological nitrogen fixation of pulse crops
… was observed in microbial biomass carbon (C) and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) biomarker results, where levels of each were higher in soil from pulse crops grown on oilseed stubble at Davidson, Theodore, and Springside. Climatic conditions also may have affected BNF at each location, especially …

The microbial communities and nutrient availability in pre and post harvested lodgepole pine stands of west-central Alberta
… characteristics of the microbial communities. Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis provides information about the physiological characteristics of the microbial community. Analysis of the PRS probes results varied for the two nutrients: phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). Nitrogen availability …

Assessing the role of probiotics for the enhancement of soil quality under cover crops
… and community structures were analyzed using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis. Standard enzyme assays were used to analyze B-glucosidase, fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDA), dehydrogenase (DHA) and B-glucosaminidase activities. Total fungi biomass was highest in Trt3 followed by …

Soil microbial community dynamics in response to cover crop implementation and P fertilizer management
… explore the microbial community structure using phospholipid fatty acid analysis, and (iii) to identify key microbial functional gene composition, and soil health metrics relate to key soil microbial functional gene composition in the fall 2019 and spring 2020 seasons in response to management …

Bacterial communities in glacier forefields of the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica : structure, development & adaptation
… by determining changes of the cell membrane phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) inventory of an isolated bacterium in response to temperature and pH fluctuations and by measuring enzyme activity at low temperature in environmental soil samples. The two studied glacier forefields are extreme …
