Carbon storage and DNA absorption in allophanic soils and paleosols
(Springer, New York, 2014)Andisols and andic paleosols dominated by the nanocrystalline mineral allophane sequester large amounts of carbon (C), attributable mainly to its chemical bonding with charged hydroxyl groups on the surface of allophane ... -
DNA adsorption by nanocrystalline allophane spherules and nanoaggregates, and implications for carbon sequestration in Andisols
(Elsevier B.V., 2016-02-01)This study provides fundamental knowledge about the interaction of allophane, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and organic matter in soils, and how allophane sequesters DNA. The adsorption capacities of salmon-sperm DNA on ... -
Evaluating the character and preservation of DNA within allophane clusters in buried soils on Holocene tephras, northern New Zealand
(ACMS, 2012-02-07)Clay minerals possess sorptive capacities for organic and inorganic matter, including DNA (Lorenz and Wackernagel, 1994), and hence reduce the utilization and degradation of organic matter or DNA by microorganisms. Buried ... -
A new method to extract and purify DNA from allophanic soils and paleosols, and potential for paleoenvironmental reconstruction and other applications
(Elsevier, 2016-07-15)Andisols, developed from late-Quaternary tephra (volcanic ash) deposits and dominated by the nanocrystalline aluminosilicate, allophane, contain large stores of organic matter and are potential reservoirs for DNA. However, ... -
Studies on carbon and DNA preservation in allophanic soils and paleosols on Holocene tephras in New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2016)The recovery of ancient DNA (aDNA) and palaeoenvironmental DNA (PalEnDNA) from soils and sediments has enabled detailed paleontological and ecological records to be obtained. Because of the superior ability of allophanic ...
