title: Bio-available amino acids extraction from soil by demineralized water and 0.5 M ammonium acetate.
abstract: The extraction and comparison of soil bio-available amino acids using either demineralised water (DEMI H(2)O) or 0.5 M ammonium acetate (0.5 M AAc) solution is reported. Results show that the extraction by 0.5 M AAc is a better method to assess the concentration of bio-available amino acids in soil than DEMI H(2)O due to higher extraction efficiency and better amino acid protection against microbial degradation during processing.
