Fifteen years of climate change manipulations alter soil microbial communities in a subarctic heath ecosystem (2007, background): “The hypothesized increase in bacteria could have considerable implications for both the C storage and the rate of nutrient cycling, because bacteria usually have higher growth and turnover rates than fungi (Bååth, 2001).”
Phytoremediation of organic pollutants using mycorrhizal plants: a new aspect of rhizosphere interactions (2003, unknown): “Also, new methodology for detection of both ectomycorrhizas [4, 21] and arbuscular myc-orrhizas [56, 57] facilitates detection, identification and quantification of the involved fungi, so that spotting and characterizing mycorrhizas based on morphology (a know-how that takes a long time to acquire)…”
Comparison of temperature effects on soil respiration and bacterial and fungal growth rates. (2005, methodology): “Washing, extraction of ergosterol, measurement of ergosterol using HPLC, collecting of the ergosterol and the subsequent determination of incorporated radioactivity on a liquid scintillator were performed as described by Bååth [10].”
Revisiting the hypothesis that fungal-to-bacterial dominance characterizes turnover of soil organic matter and nutrients (2015, methodology): “…biomass (ergosterol concentration) were determined using the acetate-in-ergosterol incorporation method (Newell and Fallon 1991) adapted for soil (Bååth 2001), with modifications (Rousk and Bååth 2007, Rousk et al. 2009), which estimates the rate of ergosterol synthesis as a measure of…”
