Abstracts |
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM) are known to enhance plant tolerance to a
variety of stresses including nutrients,drought,metal toxicity,salinity and pathogens
all of which may affect plants success in a contaminated or polluted soil. A study was undertaken to access the influence of paper mill effluents on mycorrhizal colonization and mycorrhizal spore count and regression analyses revealed that the
mycorrhizal colonization and mycorrhizal spore count are significantly and positively correlated with various physio-chemical properties in the polluted soil. Glomus was the most dominant isolated mycorrhizal genus of which three dominant species Glomus fasciculatum Glomus macrocarpum, Glomus mosseae have been identified. The study helps us to develop a protocol by studying the
association of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in plants growing in poluted soil and the potential use of these AM fungi as a future bioremediation agent for
rehabilitation of the polluted site contaminated with various trace metals. |
