Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is heavily and positively implicated in phosphorus (P) acquisition from soil to plants, including many important agricultural crops. Its role plant nitrogen (N) nutrition generally not as prominent or beneficial, with exception of some situations when N available predominantly organic forms. Yet the AM fungi (AMF) are, due their poor exo-enzymatic repertoire, unlikely degrade compounds on own, therefore they possibly depend other microorganisms liberate...
Introduction The hyphosphere of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is teeming with microbial life. Yet, the influence nutrient availability or forms on microbiomes still poorly understood. Methods Here, we examined how community (prokaryotic, fungal, protistan) was affected by presence AM fungus Rhizophagus irregularis in rhizosphere and root-free zone, different nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) supplements into compartment influenced communities. Results greatly communities both prokaryotic being...
Both plants and their associated arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi require nitrogen (N) for metabolism growth. This can result in both positive negative effects of AM symbiosis on plant N nutrition. Either way, the demand efficiency uptake mineral from soil by are often higher than those nonmycorrhizal plants. In consequence, with exerts important feedbacks processes general cycling particular. Here, we investigated role Andropogon gerardii an organic source (15N-labeled litter) that was...
Tuber aestivum is the most common European truffle with significant commercial exploitation. Its production originates from natural habitats and artificially inoculated host tree plantations. Formation of ectomycorrhizae in seedling roots often inefficient. One possible reason lack indigenous associative microbes. Here we aimed at metagenetic characterization cultivation prokaryotes associated T. a field transect cutting through fungus colony margin. Several operational taxonomic units...
Tuber aestivum is becoming an important commodity of great economical value in some European countries. At the same time, it a highly protected organism other countries, where needs careful treatment. A reliable method detection roots and soil thus needed for assessment geographic distribution, ecological studies inoculation efficiency testing man-made experiments. PCR-based T. using specific primers was therefore developed. pair PCR Tu1sekvF/Tu2sekvR selective genotypes mesentericum...
Symbiosis between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, involving great majority of extant plant species including most crops, is heavily implicated in mineral nutrition, abiotic biotic stress tolerance, soil aggregate stabilization, as well shaping microbiomes. The latter particularly important for efficient recycling from to nutrients such phosphorus nitrogen (N) bound organic forms. Chitin one the widespread polysaccharides on Earth, contains substantial amounts N (>6% by...
Abstract Differences in functioning among various genotypes of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can determine their fitness under specific environmental conditions, although knowledge the underlying mechanisms still is very fragmented. Here we compared seven homokaryotic isolates (genotypes) Rhizophagus irregularis , aiming to characterize range intraspecific variability with respect hyphal exploration organic nitrogen (N) resources, and N supply plants. To this end established two...
