The literature concerning the metabolism of carbon and nitrogen compounds in
ectomycorrhizal associations of trees is reviewed. The absorption and translocation of …

Fungi, as do all living plants, require carbohydrates as metabolites in the synthesis of
cellular components and as energy sources for metabolic processes; but unlike the …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a framework for some practical approaches to the
study of carbon metabolism in mycorrhiza. The ability of a fungus to utilize different carbon …

The classification and nomenclature of mycorrhizas are discussed. The C nutrition of
mycorrhizal associations is discussed with reference to physical sources of C for mycorrhizal …

Ectomycorrhizas are symbiotic assoclatlOns between woody plant roots, mainly trees, and
fungi that form spontaneously in natural conditions and contribute to host growth. The …

Ammonium assimilation enzymes from several strains of ectendo‐and ectomycorrhizal fungi
were assayed after three weeks culture on a buffered synthetic medium containing …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are symbiotically associated microorganisms which ecological
importance has been repeatedly demonstrated. There has been a considerable amount of …

Colonization of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal [AM] fungi results in many changes in the
carbon partitioning and metabolism of the host plant. The rate of carbon assimilation, the …

The interactive role of nitrogen and carbon in the physiology of ectomycorrhizae (ECM) is
examined. Nitrogen availability in forest soils dictates that inorganic forms are absorbed by …

summary Previous studies of nitrogen‐assimilating enzymes in ectomycorrhizal associations
of the Pinaceae (Norway spruce, Douglas fir) and the Fagaceae (beech) have suggested …
