... Microorganisms also have symbiotic relationships with plants. Some plants have fungi that work with older, more developed roots to help increase the absorption of water and nutrients. These fungi are called mycorrhizae; the root “myco-“ means fungus and the root “-rrhizae” refers to the plant roots. ...

Phospholipid-derived fatty acids



Phospholipid-derived fatty acids (PLFA) are widely used in microbial ecology as chemotaxonomic markers of bacteria and other organisms. Phospholipids are the primary lipids composing cellular membranes. Phospholipids can be saponified, which releases the fatty acids contained in their diglyceride tail. Once the phospholipids of an unknown sample are saponified, the composition of the resulting PLFA can be compared to the PLFA of known organisms to determine the identity of the sample organism. PLFA analysis may be combined with other techniques, such as stable isotope probing to determine which microbes are metabolically active in a sample. PLFA analysis was pioneered by D.C. White, MD, PhD, at the University of Tennessee, in the early to mid 1980s.
