Abstracts |
The influence of organic matter on the interactions between external mycelium of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradices, the bacterium Burkholderia cepacia and other soil microorganisms was studied in a root-free sand environment. Organic matter amendment, in terms of ground barley leaves, markedly increased the growth of the external mycelium of G. intraradices as estimated both with the fatty acid biomarker 16:1 omega 5 and hyphal length measurements. Mycelial proliferation of G. intraradices in sand with organic matter was unaffected by both inoculation with B. cepacia and a soil filtrate containing a mixed population of indigenous microorganisms. On the other hand, in the absence of organic matter, both inoculation with B. cepacia and the soil filtrate reduced the growth of G. intraradices, as estimated with measurements of 16:1 omega 5. In contrast, B. cepacia inoculation increased hyphal length density of G. intraradices in the absence of organic matter. Overall, the presence of external mycelium of G. intraradices increased the bacterial biomass and counteracted a suppressive effect of B. cepacia on the growth of saprotrophic fungi. |
