The complex and dynamic nature of soil makes the assessment of soil biodiversity difficult. Findings presented here form part of a wider scheme to develop ‘bio-sampling’ methods based on earthworm cast analysis. Our overall ...

This study explores the utility of Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) as a metabolomic tool to detect changes in water-extractable chemical profile resulting from horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events in ...
