Robert Taube´s work on the use of PLFA signatures to identify and characterize fungal communities will soon be published in fungal in Fungal Ecology.
Robert analyzed the PLFA signatures of several groups of aquatic fungi, and phytoplankton species. He then created complex mixtures of these organisms, simulating a natural complex community and used whole-communuity PLFA patterns to disentangle the contribution of each rganimal group, as well as the presence of absence of fungal infections of phytoplankton. Stay tuned for the published article!
