The Various Roles of Fatty Acids (2018, background): “showed that the analysis of phospholipids analysis and of polar lipid fatty acids (PLFAs) could provide valuable information to estimate the microbial biomass and the microbial community structure in marine and estuarine sediments [266].”
Geobacter metallireducens gen. nov. sp. nov., a microorganism capable of coupling the complete oxidation of organic compounds to the reduction of iron and other metals (2004, methodology): “The polar lipid fraction, which was recovered in methanol, was transesterified with mild alkaline methanolysis (White et al. 1979).”
Evaluation of methods to estimate production, biomass and turnover of ectomycorrhizal mycelium in forests soils : A review (2013, methodology): “The analytical procedure for PLFAs and NLFAs comprises four steps: (i) extraction of lipids, (ii) lipid fractionation, (iii) mild alkaline methanolysis, and (iv) GC analyses (White et al., 1979; Frostegård et al., 1991).”
Plant species richness, elevated CO2, and atmospheric nitrogen deposition alter soil microbial community composition and function (2007, background): “Wolf et al. (2003) also found higher AM spore abundance and spore biovolume under the 16-species treatment than under the one-species treatment.”
The role of fungi in processing marine organic matter in the upwelling ecosystem off Chile (2011, background): “This association is not surprising since phospholipid fatty acids are appropriate biomarkers for viable cells since they occur as membrane lipids and are rapidly hydrolyzed after cell death ( White et al. 1979; Balkwill et al. 1988).”
Response of decomposing litter and its microbial community to multiple forms of nitrogen enrichment (2012, methodology): “…equilibrated with deionized water (1:10) before measuring pH. Phospholipid fatty acid analysis Lipids were extracted from 1 g litter (dry mass equivalent; ground using mortar and pestle) using a single-phase chloroform–methanol–phosphate buffer extraction (Bligh and Dyer 1959, White et al. 1979).”
