C. Saiz-jimenez et al., Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of soil humic acids, lignins, model phenolic polymers, and fungal melanins, COMM SOIL S, 30(3-4), 1999, pp. 345-352
Soil humic acid fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis yield fo
ur fractions: a, b, and c+d Lignin samples runs as a single band and have t
he same electrophoretic mobility than fraction b of humic acid. Degraded li
gnin also yield fraction c+d Model phenolic polymers and fungal melanins we
re mainly distributed into fractions equivalent to fractions b and c+d of h
umic acids. These data confirms those obtained using other analytical metho
ds.
