Acaulospora sieverdingii, an ecologically diverse new fungus in the Glomeromycota, described from lowland temperate Europe and tropical West Africa
International audience; From a survey of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in agro-ecosystems in Central Europe and West Africa, an undescribed species of Acaulospora was recovered and is presented here under the epithet Acaulospora sieverdingii. Spores of A. sieverdingii are 60-80 mu m in diam, hyaline to subhyaline to rarely light yellow and have multiple pitted depressions on the outer spore wall similar to those known for A. alpina, A. cavernata, A. paulinae and A. scrobiculata. The pits in A. sieverdingii are tiny and often irregular and resemble small dots (0.8-1.8 mu m) or lines (0.5-1.2 x 1.8-2.5 mu m). Analyses of the ITS1, 5.8S subunit and ITS2 regions of the rDNA resolved each of…
