Abstract

The objective of the present work was to carry
out a biochemical characterization of some arbuscular
mycorrhizal species from the strain bank of the National
Institute of Agricultural Sciences, for which inoculated
Sorghum bicolor plants were studied and acid phosphatase
and esterase isoenzymatic patterns were screened.
Electrophoresis revealed the existence of only one polymorphic
band in the acid phosphatase pattern, whereas esterase system
showed a high frequency of polymorphic bands. The potential
use of esterase isoenzymes, together with other enzymatic
systems, was suggested to attempt an effective
characterization of different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
species.
