Phospholipid fatty acids are the major constituents of the membranes of all living cells, and
different groups of microorganism synthesize a variety of PLFA through various biochemical …

Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis has been widely used to study soil microbial
community structure. Soil PLFAs are taken to be indicative of living organisms since …

The quantitative description of microbial community is one of the difficult tasks for microbial
ecologist. Conventional cultivation techniques cannot be used to fully characterize most soil …

The cell content of 12 bacterial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) was determined in bacteria
extracted from soil by homogenization/centrifugation. The bacteria were enumerated using …

The analysis of ester-linked (EL) phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) is an acknowledged
biochemical approach to microbial community characterization. PLFAs are constituents of all …

The determination of the phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) pattern of soil organisms has
become one of the most commonly used methods to study microbial community structure …

Opinion Phospholipid fatty acid, commonly referred to as PLFA, is an analytical concept that
emerged in the late 1980's for estimating composition of soil microbial communities [1] …

Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis is widely used to measure microbial biomass and
community composition in soil and other types of environmental samples. As typically …

Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis is a robust method for characterizing soil microbial
communities. We determined the effects of extraction solvent (chloroform vs …

Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis, based on modern biochemical techniques, is widely
used in the research of microbial ecology nowadays. It shows many advantages over the …
