Taxonomic reclassification of two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal strains
Main Article Content
Abstract
economic significance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)
and also due to the satisfactory results reached with the vast
field application of two strains, INCAM-2 and INCAM-4, from
AMF collection at INCA, this work was aimed at their
taxonomic reclassification, taking into account the availability
of a single and reliable molecular technique, as well as
worldwide experts´ advice on this fungal morphologic
characterization. So far, these strains have been known as
Glomus clarum-INCAM-2 and Glomus fasciculatum-INCAM-4.
The detailed spore observation at the microscope allowed
identifying AMF INCAM-2 strain as Glomus mosseae, which
was molecularly confirmed. INCAM-4 strain was just
morphologically characterized, suggesting to be classified as
Glomus hoi-like, since its characteristics do not coincide with
any described species; however, they are similar to those of
G. hoi considered as a new species, whose identity requires
deeper molecular studies.
