description Devices, methods, kits and means for easy, accurate, and fast estimation of soil microbial load, including fungal load, and fungal to bacterial ratio are described. The methods include extracting soil biomass into an extraction fluid to obtain a soil extract and detecting the fungal fraction, the bacterial fraction, and the fungal to bacterial ratio in the soil extract. The devices typically include microBIOMETER®, devices for particle size discrimination, and devices for absorbance and reflectance detection. The difference in microscopic sizes or spectroscopic absorbance of the fungal particles relative to those of the bacterial particles is used to compute the contribution of each type of particle to the biomass. In one example, the relative coverage of the microBIOMETER® device membrane by the fungal and/or bacterial particles can be measured by and then calculated using a cell phone camera and application.
