Two experiments were set up to investigate the influence of soil organic matter on growth of
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) hyphae and concurrent changes in soil inorganic P, organic P …

Extraradical hyphae of Glomus intraradices or G. claroideum were extracted from root free
sand of two-compartment pot cultures and used to determine fungal phosphatase activity [p …

Phosphatase activity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi has attracted attention in three
fairly distinct domains: intracellular enzymes with defined metabolic functions that have been …

To examine the phosphatase activity of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi in the
rhizosphere and hyphosphere, mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal wheat (Triticum aestivum …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enhance plant uptake of available phosphorus (P) from
soil through their extraradical hyphae. The mechanism underlying this P uptake enhanced …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi increase phosphate (P) uptake by plants. Organic
phosphate comprises 30–80% of total P in most agricultural soils. Some plants can utilize …

Acid phosphatase activity associated with the root and in the rhizosphere of rape (Brassica
napus) L., wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and onion (Alliutn cepa L.) plants was investigated in …

An experiment was set up to test the ability of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) roots and hyphae
to produce extracellular phosphatases and to study the relationship between phosphatase …

The potential of the mycorrhizal fungus, Glomus etunicatum, to mineralize organic P was
studied in an artificial growth medium amended with various organic P sources. Plant growth …

Sheathing mycorrhizal fungi have been shown to possess phosphatase enzymes which can
hydrolyse inositol hexaphosphate. In a range of mycorrhizal fungi, this activity was often …
