Metataxonomics Characterization of Soil Microbiome Extraction Method Using Different Dispersant Solutions.

ABSTRACT: Soil health is essential for maintaining ecosystem balance, food security, and human well-being. Anthropogenic activities, such as climate change and excessive agrochemical use, have led to the degradation of soil ecosystems worldwide. Microbiome transplantation has emerged as a promising approach for restoring perturbed soils; however, direct soil transfer presents practical limitations for large-scale applications. An alternative strategy involves extracting microbial communities through soil washing processes, but its success highly depends on proper microbiota characterization and efficient extraction methods. This study evaluated a soil wash method using four different dispersant solutions (Tween-80, NaCl, sodium citrate, and sodium pyrophosphate) for their ability to extract the majo
