Der Ökologe Matthias C. Rillig schreibt in der Encyclopedia of Soils in the Environment:
"Glomalin appears to have N-linked oligosaccharide side chains, and the extract also contains Fe in variable percentages (it is not known in what way Fe is bound in the molecule). In its native state, glomalin is assumed to be insoluble and hydrophobic. Evidence (e.g., from NMR studies) is mounting that glomalin is a compound distinct from humic acid; its1H NMR spectrum is also distinctly different from tannic acid. The pathway of release of glomalin into soil is not clear; glomalin could be actively secreted at the hyphal tip, or it could be sloughed off hyphae as they grow through soil."
