Javier Álvarez-Sánchez, e-mail: [email protected] RESUMEN Antecedentes: Marqués de Comillas en la Selva Lacandona, Chiapas, ha sido afectado por el cambio de uso de suelo y en la actualidad presenta un paisaje fragmentado. Objetivos: Determinar la diversidad de especies y abundancia de esporas de hongos micorrizógenos arbusculares en sitios en distintas etapas de regeneración de la selva en las temporadas seca y de lluvias en este municipio. Métodos: Se recolectaron cinco muestras de suelo al azar en cada uno de 12 sitios en cada temporada (total 120 muestras). Resultados y conclusiones: Se identificaron 49 especies pertenecientes a 15 géneros. Dominikia minuta y Glomus insculptum se repor- taron por primera vez para México. Acaulospora, Glomus y Ambispora fueron los géneros más abundantes. La diversidad y la equi- tabilidad de especies fueron mayores en sitios de etapas más tardías en la sucesión para ambas temporadas. Durante la temporada de secas los sitios compartieron el 40% de las especies, mientras que durante la temporada de lluvias sólo compartieron el 30%. Un análisis de varianza determinó que la abundancia de esporas fue mayor en los sitios tempranos de regeneración. La variación en la comunidad de hongos micorrizógenos arbusculares dependió del estadio de regeneración del sitio y marginalmente de los cambios estacionales. PALABRAS CLAVE: Glomeromycota, regeneración, selva húmeda, esporas ABSTraCT Background: Marqués de Comillas is located in the Lacandona tropical rainforest, Chiapas It suffered land use-change and currently constitutes a fragmented landscape. Objectives: Estimate species diversity and spores abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in this municipality, in sites following a regeneration gradient and with different canopy openness during dry and rainy seasons. Methods: Five random soil samples were collected in each of 12 sites in both seasons (120 samples in total). Results and conclusions: Forty nine species of 15 genera were identified.Dominikia minuta and Glomus insculptum were registered for the first time in Mexico.Glomus , Acaulospora, and Ambispora were the most abundant genera. Species diversity and evenness were hig- her both in dry and rainy season in sites in later successional stages. In dry season sites shared 40% of total species, while during the rainy season they only shared 30%. Analysis of variance showed that the spore abundance was greater in the early regeneration sites. Variation in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi community depended on site regeneration stage and marginally on climate variation among seasons.

The new species, named Scutellospora tepuiensis, is the fourth ornamented Scutellospora species described from La Gran Sabana and represents the first report of a glomeromycotan fungus for highland tepuis in the Venezuelan Guayana. Key words—arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, taxonomy, tropical species, Gigasporaceae, Glomeromycetes Introduction The Guayana shield occupies a vast area that extends approximately 1500 km in an east-to-west direction from the coast of Suriname to southwestern Venezuela and adjacent Colombia in South America. This region is mostly characterized by nutrient-poor soils and a flora of notable species richness, high endemism, and diversity of growth forms (Huber 1995). Vast expanses of hard rock (Precambrian quartzite and sandstone) that once covered this area as part of Gondwanaland (Schubert & Huber 1989) have been heavily weathered and fragmented by over a billion years of erosion cycles, leaving behind just a few strikingly isolated mountains (Huber 1995). These table mountains, with their sheer vertical walls and mostly flat summits, are the outstanding physiographic feature of the Venezuelan Guayana (Schubert & Huber 1989).

Glomeromycota. Microbial Biosystems 1(1), 40–49 Abstract Information about arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was abstracted based on an intensive search of publications, thesis, and preliminary annotated checklists and compilations. By screening all available sources of information, it was possible to report forty-eight taxa belonging to one class (Glomeromycetes), four orders (Archaeosporales, Diversisporales, Glomerales and Paraglomerales) and six families (Acaulosporaceae, Archaeosporaceae, Entrophosporaceae, Gigasporaceae, Glomeraceae and Pacisporaceae). Order Glomerales accommodates the greatest range of species (28 species), the order Archaeosporales and Paraglomerales accommodate the lowest range (one species each). Key words – AM fungi – checklist – Egypt – Glomus – mycorrhiza – Saint Katherine Introduction The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the most widespread on earth and is defined as the association between the fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota (Schüβler et al. 2001) and most of the terrestrial species ranging from thallophytes to Angiosperms. The morphology of the fungus colonizing plant root tissues is highly elaborated in AM symbiosis. In natural communities, approximately 80% of higher plants were obligately dependent upon fungal associates. AM fungi are believed to be disseminated intercontinentally prior to continental drift, as supported by fossil records of earlier plants (Berch 1986; Stubblefield et al.

The latter, however, have received little attention from the scientific community and, consequently, are poorly known in terms of occurrence and distribution of this group of fungi. This paper provides a global list on AMF species inhabiting aquatic ecosystems reported so far by scientific community (lotic and lentic freshwater, mangroves, and wetlands). A total of 82 species belonging to 5 orders, 11 families, and 22 genera were reported in 8 countries. Lentic ecosystems have greater species richness. Most studies of the occurrence of AMF in aquatic ecosystems were conducted in the United States and India, which constitute 45% and 78% reports coming from temperate and tropical regions, respectively. KEY WORDS — checklist, flooded areas, mycorrhiza, taxonomy Introduction Aquatic ecosystems comprise about 77% of the planet surface (Rebouças 2006) and encompass a diversity of habitats favorable to many species from marine (ocean), transitional estuaries to continental (wetlands, lentic and lotic) environments (Reddy et al. 2018). Despite this territorial representativeness and biodiversity already recorded, there are gaps when considering certain types of organisms, e.g. fungi. Fungi are considered a common and important component of almost all trophic levels.

The fungus produced spores in single species cultures, using Sorghum vulgare or Trifolium pratense as bait plant. The spores are 69–96 × 65–92 µm in diameter, brownish creamy to light brown, often appearing with a grayish tint in the dissecting microscope. They have a pitted surface (pit sizes about 0.8–1.6 × 0.7–1.4 µm in diameter and 0.6–1.3 µm deep), and are similar in size to several other Acaulospora species with pitted spore surfaces, such as A.

Fragments of AMF ribosomal DNA (rDNA) 6 November 2008 were amplified using nested PCR with fungal universal primers and ITS (internal transcribed Accepted 14 November 2008 spacer) specific primers for Acaulosporaceae, Glomaceae and Gigasporaceae. ITS-Acaulos- poraceae and Glomaceae-specific primers and DGGE were efficient in differentiating the composition of mycorrhizal communities. Maize genotypes had a greater influence on the Keywords: rhizosphere mycorrhizal community than the level of P in the soil. DGGE profiles of maize Acid low P soils roots revealed bands that were present only in P efficient genotypes (L3 and HT3060), Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) suggesting that some mycorrhizal groups were stimulated by P efficient maize genotypes.

  • Occurrence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in High Altitude Sites of the Patagonian Altoandina Region in Nahuel Huapi National Park (Argentina)
    Acta Botanica Brasilica - 30(4): 521-531. October-December 2016. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062016abb0223 Occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in high altitude sites of the Patagonian Altoandina region in Nahuel Huapi National Park (Argentina) María Silvana Velázquez 1*, Sidney Luiz Stürmer 2, Clara Bruzone 3, Sonia Fontenla 3, Marcelo Barrera 4 and Marta Cabello 1 Received: June 22, 2016 Accepted: September 3, 2016 . ABSTRACT Knowledge of the occurrence and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in National Parks is essential for the establishment of policies for conservation. Th e aim of this study was to characterize the AMF communities in the Patagonian Altoandina region in Nahuel Huapi National Park, Argentina. We surveyed AMF spores associated with the rhizospheres of 9 plant species in the Patagonian Steppe (PS), Challhuaco Hill (ChH), Catedral Hill (CH), and Tronador Hill (TH) regions and detected a total of 27 Glomeromycota species. Acaulospora laevis was dominant at all sites. Th e AMF community was dominated by Acaulosporaceae, as regards the number of species and contribution of each one to the total number of spores. Th ree Glomeromycota families were detected at PS, the site with the lowest elevation; whereas fi ve to six families were detected at ChH, CH, and TH. Cluster analysis indicated that the AMF communities were grouped according to habitat. We concluded that certain patterns of the AMFcommunity structure detected were equivalent to those of high-altitude environments from other studies, while others were unique to the Patagonian region; thus suggesting that historical infl uences like dispersion and speciation played a critical role in shaping AMF community composition in such high-altitude environments.
