Summary.

The extraction and comparison of soil bio-available amino acids using either demineralised water (DEMI H2O) or 0.5 M ammonium acetate (0.5 M AAc) solution is reported. Results show that the extraction by 0.5 M AAc is a better method to assess the concentration of bio-available amino acids in soil than DEMI H2O due to higher extraction efficiency and better amino acid protection against microbial degradation during processing.
