Question

What kind of exudates do you expect to find in the soil? Draw the chemical structures of 3 types of exudates that you expect to find in the soil samples What techniques would you use to characterize these exudates? You have determined that the root exudates are significantly different of the soil samples that were exposed to pesticides, PAH, and BTEX. In fact, you realize that the cornfield is a contaminated site of soil excavation filled with toxic chemicals, commonly referred as the "dig-and-dump" strategy. As a result of you working directly on the site, you get an asthma attack and have to get your inhaler filled with a bronchodilator. You want to alarm the Department of Public Health and recommend an immediate bioremediation to prevent harm to human health.

Explanation / Answer

1) You can find the plant exudates, root exudates
2) You can find resins, latex, gum etc in exudates. These substances are composed of various functional
   groups which varies from sample to sample since all plants do not exudate same kind of substances.
3) Since exudates have different functional groups attached to them, we can characterize these exudates
   by knowing their chemical composition and identifying the functional properties of certain exudate.
