One of the major challenges in microbiome science has been distinguishing what is a potential environmental contaminant from a true, bona fide microbiome signal. Challenges associated with metagenomic ...

In Compares a traditional (top) and a new innovative method (bottom) for estimating microbial biomass carbon (MBC) in soils. The new approach uses air-drying and rewetting instead of toxic chemicals ...

In a remarkable advancement for soil science, researchers from Japan have developed a novel method for estimating microbial biomass using water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) from air-dried soils.

One of the major challenges in microbiome science has been distinguishing what is a potential environmental contaminant from a true, bona fide microbiome signal in low biomass studies -- studies that ...
