Soil quality — Determination of soil microbial diversity — Part 1: Method by phospholipid fatty acid analysis (PLFA) and phospholipid ether lipids (PLEL) analysis

Qualité du sol — Détermination de la diversité microbienne du sol — Partie 1: Méthode par analyse des acides gras phospholipidiques (PLFA) et par analyse des lipides éther phospholipidiques (PLEL)

Abstract / scope

ISO/TS 29843‑1:2010 specifies an extended method for the extraction and determination of both phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and phospholipid ether lipids (PLEL) from soils.

ISO/TS 29843‑2 specifies a simple method for the extraction of only PLFA from soils.
