Abstract

Soil humic acid was fractionated on a molecular weight basis either using Sephadex gel filtration or electrophoresis on a discontinuous polyacrylamide gel. Low and high molecular weight fractions obtained by these two methods were choosen for subsequent subfractionation using electrophoretic methods. The high and low molecular weight fractions yielded several subfractions after separation by isotachophoresis or isoelectric focusing. Components of the high molecular weight fractions occupied the upper portion of the mobility train; components of the low molecular weight fractions lead the mobility train. Adsorption by Sephadex was avoided by using 4M urea as an eluent. The elution of the humic substances adsorbed to the polyacrylamide gel matrix was achieved by using a 0.1M Tris −0.025M EDTA solution.
