Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza establishment on the genetic structure and functionality of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of Medicago trun…
2007
Bacterial communities associated with (i) M. Truncatula J5 (Myc+/Nod+) and TRV48 (Myc+/Nod-), and with (ii) M. Truncatula TRV25 (Myc-/Nod-) were compared. The genetic structure of communities was characterized with an A-RISA DNA fingerprint. The genetic structures of communities associated with mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots were significantly different. Bacteria belonging to the Oxalobacteraceae and Comamonadaceae families were preferentially associated with mycorrhizal roots. The genetic diversity of cultured bacteria belonging to these groups was analysed by BOX-PCR. The diversity of isolates from mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots was significantly different. The functionality…
The mycorrhizal soil infectivity and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore communities in soils of different aged fallows in Senegal
2001
This work was carried out to determine the influence of the duration of fallow and of physico-chemical components of soils on the distribution of endomycorrhizal fungal spores and the mycorrhizal soil infectivity. The mycorrhization of indigenous plants from the fallows was examined and it was concluded that, except for Cassia obtusifolia, fungal colonization was poorly developed. No correlation was established between spore populations and duration of fallow or between grazed and fenced areas. The relationships between abundance of mycorrhizal spores and the physico-chemical characteristics of the soils were markedly variable among species of mycorrhizal fungi. The results did not provide …
