Accessing rare bacterial biosphere of soil through culturing: a comparative study of culture media effectiveness integrated with metataxonomics

José A. Siles, Norman Terry

This study compares the effectiveness of different culture media in recovering rare soil bacteria, finding that SEM outperforms others in capturing rare taxa through culturing and metataxonomics.

A comparison among EL-FAME, PLFA, and quantitative PCR methods to detect changes in the abundance of soil bacteria and fungi

José A. Siles, Roberto Gómez-Pérez, Alfonso Vera, Carlos J. García, Felipe Bastida

The paper compares EL-FAME, PLFA, and qPCR methods for quantifying soil microbial abundances and finds EL-FAME and PLFA are more reliable than qPCR, with PLFA better for detecting small changes in forest soils.
