Small but active – pool size does not matter for carbon incorporation in below‐ground food webs (2016, background): “Moreover, according to Ngosong, Gabriel & Ruess (2014), linoleic acid accounts only for about 14% of total lipids in maize roots, whereas it ranged from 33 6% to 87 6% of total PLFAs across 15 different fungal species (Ruess et al. 2002).”
The fat that matters: Soil food web analysis using fatty acids and their carbon stable isotope signature (2010, methodology): “…acids, in particular arachidonic acid (20:4u6,9,12,15), predominantly occur in animals (Table 1) including soil invertebrates such as Protozoa, Nematoda, Collembola and Lumbricidae (e.g. Lechevalier and Lechevalier, 1988; Petersen and Holmstrup, 2000; Ruess et al., 2002; Sampedro et al., 2006).”
Using lipid analysis and hyphal length to quantify AM and saprotrophic fungal abundance along a soil chronosequence (2005, background): “dominant in ectomycorrhizae and saprotrophic fungi (and is negligible in the mycelium of AM fungus) (Muller et al., 1994; Frostegard and Bååth, 1996; Larsen et al., 1998; Olsson, 1999; Ruess et al., 2002).”
Carbon flux through fungi and bacteria into the forest soil animal food web as indicated by compound-specific 13C fatty acid analysis (2012, result): “This is in line with the dN measurements of Schneider et al. (2004), who assigned these species to primary decomposers feeding predominantly on litter.”
Dynamics of Microbial Communities during Decomposition of Carbon-13 Labeled Ryegrass Fractions in Soil (2005, methodology): “…based on reviewsWe isolated PLFAs using a single-phase extraction method and recent literature (Stahl and Klug, 1996; Zelles, 1999; Myers(White and Ringelberg, 1998) as modified by Butler et al. et al., 2001; Ruess et al., 2002; DeForest et al., 2004; Waldrop(2003) with the following adjustments.”
Trophic transfer of fatty acids from gut microbiota to the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris L (2006, background): “The concentration of long-chain PUFA reported for collembola and plant parasitic, entomopathogenic, fungivorous or bacterivorous nematodes ranged from less than 1% to 8%mol (Patel and Wright, 1997b; Chen et al., 2001; Ruess et al., 2002; Haubert et al., 2004; Chamberlain et al., 2004).”
Evaluation of methods to estimate production, biomass and turnover of ectomycorrhizal mycelium in forests soils : A review (2013, background): “Another PLFA that is common in fungi, especially Zygomycota, is 18:1u9 (Dembitsky et al., 1992; Ruess et al., 2002; Brondz et al., 2004).”
Effect of Monoterpenes on Lipid Composition and Sclerotial Development of Sclerotium cepivorum Berk. (2006, result): “Previous results on fungal fatty acid composition have shown low level of linolenic acid (Sajbidor and Grego, 1992; Ghfir et al., 1994; Ruess et al., 2002) so the TBA test for fatty acids with three or more double bonds, is not an appropriate test (Griffiths et al.”
Effects of food quality, starvation and life stage on stable isotope fractionation in Collembola (2005, background): “We suggest that to provide the high level of resolution required, stable isotopes must be used in combination with other information, such as gut content analysis or morphological structures of mouthparts, but in particular with fatty acid composition of the consumer and its diet (Ruess et al., 2002”
