| invasion of spores of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus gigaspora decipiens by burkholderia spp. | burkholderia species are bacterial soil inhabitants that are capable of interacting with a variety of eukaryotes, in some cases occupying intracellular habitats. pathogenic and nonpathogenic burkholderia spp., including b. vietnamiensis, b. cepacia, and b. pseudomallei, were grown on germinating spores of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus gigaspora decipiens. spore lysis assays revealed that all burkholderia spp. tested were able to colonize the interior of g. decipiens spores. amplification of ... | 2003 | 14532087 |
| arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increased early growth of two nontimber forest product species dyera polyphylla and aquilaria filaria under greenhouse conditions. | nontimber forest products (ntfps) represent an important source of income to millions of people in tropical forest regions, but some ntfp species have decreased in number and become endangered due to overexploitation. there is increasing concern that the planting stocks of dyera polyphylla and aquilaria filaria are not sufficient to sustain the yield of ntfps and promote forest conservation. the objective of this study was to determine the effect of two arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungi, glomus ... | 2006 | 16758200 |
| 'candidatus glomeribacter gigasporarum' gen. nov., sp. nov., an endosymbiont of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. | arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are obligate endosymbionts that colonize the roots of almost 80 % of land plants. the present paper describes morphological and molecular data on a bacterial endosymbiont living in the cytoplasm of dormant or germinating spores and symbiotic mycelia of the fungal species gigaspora margarita, scutellospora persica and scutellospora castanea. pcr amplification of almost the entire 16s rrna gene of the gigaspora margarita beg 34 endosymbiont, using universal bacterial p ... | 2003 | 12656162 |
