Efficiency evaluation of phospholipid fatty acid method based on lipid standards: methanol failed to recover a majority of phospholipids yet eluted unexpected glycolipid

Phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) method has been popular and powerful for characterizing soil microbial communities over decades. However, little is known about efficiencies of acidic vs. alkaline extractants and catalysts in PLFA extraction and methylation. More urgently, it remains unclear whether m...
