The fat that matters: Soil food web analysis using fatty acids and their carbon stable isotope signature (2010, background): “On the other hand, most arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi contain 16:1u5 as specific NLFA in the deposit fat of spores (Olsson et al., 1995, 2003; Madan et al., 2002), and as this fatty acid does not occur in the neutral lipids of other organisms, it can be used as a biomarker.”
Analysing natural diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in olive tree (Olea europaea L.) plantations and assessment of the effectiveness of native fungal isolates as inoculants for commercial cultivars of olive plantlets (2004, background): “…approaches are being incorporated to define and relate taxa in the order Glomales (Simon et al., 1992; Graham et al., 1995; Schü ler et al., 2001; Madan et al., 2002), and to study the diversity of their populations in different soil–plant systems (Clapp et al., 1995; Helgason et al., 1998;…”
Microbial community PLFA and PHB responses to ecosystem restoration in tallgrass prairie soils (2005, background): “However, both the amount and composition of fungal PLFAs and sterols in cells have been found to vary with environmental conditions, fungal developmental stages (Lösel, 1988; Madan et al., 2002) and taxonomy, and these factors may partially obscure fungal biomass changes as reflected by PLFA markers”
Do tree-based intercropping systems increase the diversity and stability of soil microbial communities? (2009, background): “…Bartlett’s test for homogeneity of variance in the case of a Sources: Fostegård and Bååth, 1996; Sundh et al., 1997; Zelles, 1999; Hill et al., 2000; Madan et al., 2002; Diaz-Ravina et al., 2006; Balser et al., 2005; Hamel et al., 2006; Rinnan et al., 2007. departure from normality in the data,…”
Fate of low molecular weight organic substances in an arable soil: From microbial uptake to utilisation and stabilisation (2014, background): “Second the VAM are usually abundant in soils, because they form a symbiotic relationship with up to 80% of land plants (Madan et al., 2002).”
Microbial community composition and enzyme activities in a sandy loam soil after fumigation with methyl bromide or alternative biocides (2006, background): “This observation may be of ecological significance because 16:1u5c has been commonly suggested as a marker for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Olsson, 1999; Madan et al., 2002).”
Plant species richness, elevated CO2, and atmospheric nitrogen deposition alter soil microbial community composition and function (2007, background): “Averaged across all samples, soil C was 6.37 0.50 mg C g 1 and N was 0.53 0.01 mg N g 1 (n 5 161).”
