Here's the information on the cost of testing for biotic content from Elaine Ingham's Soil Food Web lab:
Active bacterial biomass 22.00 Total bacterial biomass 27.00 Active fungal biomass 22.00 Total fungal biomass 25.00 Protozoa 50.00 (flagellates, amoeba, ciliates) Nematode numbers and 70.00 Community structure I think that even if we just did the tests for active and total, bacterial and fungal biomass that would give a good indication of the activity in the BC or whatever else we have tested. That would be $96 per item we had tested. How many of us are there here? I'd contribute $5 to help. Bonnie York
