Soil aggregates are protective hot spots for microbes against oxidation (plasma exposure). Our findings suggest a correlation between the size of microbes (bacteria, archaea, fungi) and the size of aggregates. Aggregates can not only protect intracellular DNA of all microbial domains but also soil extracellular DNA, this latter with evolutionary implication.

Abstract
Soil aggregates are protective hot spots for microbes against oxidation (plasma exposure). Our findings suggest a correlation between the size of microbes (bacteria, archaea, fungi) and the size of aggregates. Aggregates can not only protect intracellular DNA of all microbial domains but also soil extracellular DNA, this latter with evolutionary implication.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
