M. Vosatka et al., EFFECT OF AGROBACTERIUM-RADIOBACTER ON VESICULAR-ARBUSCULAR-MYCORRHIZAL INFECTION AND EXTERNAL MYCELIUM OF MAIZE, Folia microbiologica, 40(1), 1995, pp. 100-103
Agrobacterium radiobacter influenced the development of mycorrhizal in
fection, length of external mycelium and metabolic activity of the myc
elium in a hydroponic culture system, with maize as a host plant. Infe
ction caused by Glomus fas circulatum, and metabolic activity of the e
xternal mycelium of G. fasciculatum and G. etunicatum, was stimulated
by bacterial inoculation. The results underline the importance of the
soil saprophytic microflora for development and activity of the extrar
adical phase of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
