The fungal community in coniferous forest soils plays a pivotal role in ecosystem processes such as decomposition and carbon and nutrient cycling. Both saprotrophic (SP) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi occur throughout the upper soil horizons in coniferous forests and could therefore be exposed to high concentrations of monoterpenes occurring in the needle litter and roots of some tree species. Previous work has noted the differential effects of monoterpenes on the mycelial growth of a range of both SP and ECM fungi when grown in artificial nutrient media. This study used a novel experimental system to assess the effect of environmentally relevant concentrations of monoterpenes on the activity of ECM and SP fungi grown on more natural substrata. Exposure of the ECM fungus Paxillus involutus (Batsch) Fr. to vapours of either α-pinene or β-pinene resulted in a significantly greater proportion of root tips being colonised by the fungus when it was grown with seedlings of Picea abies (L.) Karst. Exposure to monoterpenes resulted in a significant decrease in respiration rate of two species of litter degrading SP fungi, Mycena galopus var. candida J. E. Lange and Collybia butyracea (Bull.) P. Kumm. There was no difference in response between the two SP species, despite the fact that previous tests in liquid nutrient media, with monoterpenes at higher concentrations, indicated that one species was sensitive and one was not. The high volatility and low solubility of monoterpenes in water make them challenging to work with. The experimental system developed here, although still artificial, provides a bridge between pure culture studies in defined media and all the complexities of forest soils in the field, by allowing the exposure of fungi to environmentally relevant monoterpene concentrations in more natural substrata.  相似文献

Antisera were produced in rabbits against cell wall and cytoplasmic components of the mycelium of a litter-decomposing basidiomycete, Mycena galopus (Pers. ex Fr.) Kummer. The antisera were conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate, and positive reactions were obtained in direct and indirect fluorescent antibody (FA) tests with homologous antigens and with heterologous antigens of M. galopus from pure cultures and field material. Cross reactions occurred with fungal associates of M. galopus on Quercus litter from a deciduous woodland, but these were mostly removed by absorption with a preparation of Cladosporium herbarum Link ex Fr. Membrane filtration combined with FA staining and rhodamine-gelatin counter-staining was found to be a feasible means of estimating the biomass of FA-reactive mycelium of M. galopus in leaf litter.  相似文献

The hypothesis that selective grazing by Onychiurus latus Gisin altered the outcome of competition between two basidiomycetes, Mycena galopus (Pers. ex Fr.) Kummer and Marasmius androsaceus (L. ex Fr.) Fr. on Sitka spruce litter was tested. Without grazing M. androsaceus had the higher colonizing ability of litter in the laboratory whereas with grazing the position was reversed. Field exclusion experiments also suggested that higher densities of O. latus resulted in a reduction in the activity of M. androsaceus and an increase in that of M. galopus and vice versa. It is suggested that selective grazing may be an important factor determining the field distribution of these fungi, since M. androsaceus, the preferred food source, was restricted to the L litter horizon where the density of O. latus was not high enough to alter the outcome of competition whereas M. galopus predominated in the F1 horizon. The rate of decomposition of Sitka spruce litter in the laboratory caused by M. androsaceus (17% dry weight loss over 6 months at 11°C) increased by 4–14% in the presence of grazing by O. latus whereas that of M. galopus (11.5%) decreased by 12–16%.  相似文献

The fungi Mycena galopus (Pers. ex Fr.) Kummer and Marasmius androsaceus (L. ex Fr.) Fr. produced over 99% of the fruit bodies on a site under Picea sitchensis Carr. In the laboratory M. androsaceus colonized litter from both the L and F1 horizons more than twice as fast as M. galopus, but in the field its distribution was restricted to the L horizon whereas M. galopus occurred in the F1 horizon. The collembolan Onychiurus latus Gisin, the most abundant mycophagous arthropod at the field site which consistently had basidiomycete hyphae in its gut, was found throughout the autumn in the litter horizons in densities up to 600 m?2. This collembolan showed a marked preference for the mycelium of M. androsaceus rather than that of M. galopus in both laboratory and field tests. These results suggest that selective grazing by O. latus may be an important factor in determining the vertical distribution of these two fungi in the field.  相似文献

Influence of ectomycorrhizal mat soils on lignin and cellulose degradation   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Summary The ectomycorrhizal fungus Hysterangium setchellii (Fisher) forms extensive hyphal mats at the soillitter interface with the roots of the host tree Douglas fir Pseudotsuga menziesii [(Mirb.) Franco]. Microbial biomass, and lignin and cellulose decomposition rates were measured seasonally for 1 year, using 14C techniques in ectomycorrhizal mat soils and adjacent non-mat soils in a second-growth Douglas fir forest. The microbial biomass and cellulose degradation rates were 3–6 times higher in ectomycorrhizal mat soils than in adjacent nonmat soils. Lignin degradation rates were higher in ectomycorrhizal mat soils than adjacent non-mat soils. Our data suggest that the ectomycorrhizal fungus H. setchellii provides a microenvironment with increased microbiological activity which results in faster lignin and cellulose decomposition.  相似文献

In the past century, the excessive exploitation of the environment by human beings has resulted in the depletion of valuable broadleaf hardwood trees in Italian forests, creating a need for re-forestation. The aim of this research was to verify whether a vescicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus is able to colonise the root of valuable hardwood trees and to evaluate the impact of the VAM fungus on growth and macroelement nutrition of its plant hosts.Four species of valuable broadleaf hardwood trees, Prunus avium L., Fraxinus excelsior L., Acer pseudoplatanus L., and Juglans nigra L., were inoculated with Glomus mosseae, a VAM fungus, and cultivated in a greenhouse. Infection after inoculation and root colonization by the fungus, tree growth, and macro-element nutrition were evaluated two-years after inoculation. G. mosseae formed mycorrhizae on all plants. However, different morphological aspects - predominantly the formation of Arum type arbuscles in P. avium and F. excelsior - were observed. A general improvement of macro-element nutrition from species to species characterised an enhanced growth of mycorrhizal plants. Therefore, it is plausible that the association of VAMs with these broadleaf trees, could overcome the difficulties encountered in the transplanting and the slow growth typical of these tree species.Although numerous articles have reported the beneficial effects of ectomycorrhizal fungi on trees, there is a sparse literature on the association of VAM with tree species. Therefore, this study contributes to the understanding of the role of the symbiosis between valuable broadleaf trees and VAM fungi in macroelement nutrition.  相似文献

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the growth of mycorrhizal Pinus halepensis seedlings planted in a semiarid soil amended with urban refuse in southeast Spain. Three fungal species were used: Pisolithus tinctorius, Rhizopogon roseolus, and Suillus collinitus. After 8 months, inoculated seedlings grown under controlled conditions did not differ significantly from controls with regard to plant height and nutrient assimilation. Other features such as root development and stem dry weight showed that the plants grew better in the absence of mycorrhizal inoculation. The mycorrhizal seedlings and the controls were planted in three experimental plots treated with urban refuse (0, 6, and 12 Kg m-2). After 1 year of growth under field conditions the results showed that the type of fungus inoculated significantly influenced P. halepensis development. This effect varied with the dose of urban refuse. Plant growth was encouraged by the application of refuse but only at the lowest dose. Under these conditions P. tinctorius was the most effective fungus and R. roseolus yielded poorer plant development. The highest application of urban refuse led to notably worse results and a significant decrease in seedling growth compared to controls. In the control plot (without refuse) S. collinitus was the most effective fungus in plant growth improvement. The smallest application of urban refuse had a positive effect on the assimilation of N, P, and K in seedlings inoculated with P. tinctorius and S. collinitus.  相似文献

We examined the effect of a vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus Glomus pallidum Hall on the phosphatase activity and cytokinin concentration in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] roots at successive stages of plant growth. Both acid and alkaline phosphatase activity were significantly (P=0.05) higher in mycorrhizal than in non-mycorrhizal roots 30 days after inoculation. Similarly, the cytokinin content was significantly increased in mycorrhizal roots compared to non-mycorrhizal roots. Our study suggests that these biochemical changes may improve the growth of mycorrhizal cowpea plants.  相似文献

The agar-film technique (AF) and hexosamine assay (HA) were compared as methods for measuring the biomass of fungal mycelium in plant litter by application to the growth of Mycena galopus in sterilised leaves of Fraxinus and Betula. The data were statistically analysed and the precision, sources of variation, efficiency (man-hr), sensitivity and potential accuracy compared. Satisfactory precision (coefficient of variation < 10%) was obtainable by both methods, when the experimental design was optimum for minimum variance with an acceptable amount of labour. With procedures as described, HA was slower (× 2) and less sensitive, the minimum measurable biomass difference being 0.29 v. 0.14 mg g?1 oven-dry weight, but the efficiency of both methods could be improved. The major sources of variation were the primary litter samples (flasks), the sampling error of AF (microscope fields) and the experimental error of HA (hydrolyses and cation-exchange columns). The biomass values were broadly realistic in terms of the yield efficiency of the fungus and nutrient immobilization (C, N, P, K), but were 2–3 times larger by HA than AF. The AF technique is recommended for mixed mycelia in plant litter, although it is likely to underestimate biomass; HA is probably more accurate, but is limited to monocultures. The accuracy of AF could be greatly increased by optimizing the maceration of litter. Particular importance is placed on the necessity of obtaining more accurate factors for converting the experimental data to biomass, i.e. moisture content (AF), relative density (AF) and hexosamine content (HA) of mycelium of varying age.  相似文献

In many Japanese forests, the forest understory is largely dominated by dwarf bamboo (Sasa) species, which compete with overstory vegetation for soil nutrients. We studied the rate of leaf litterfall, and decomposition and mineralization of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) from various components (leaf, root, wood, and rhizome) of overstory and understory vegetation in a young Betula ermanii forest from 2002 to 2004. Total litterfall was 377 g m−2 year−1, of which the overstory vegetation contributed about two thirds. A litter decomposition experiment conducted for 770 days indicated that mass loss of different litter components varied significantly, except for Sasa kurilensis wood and rhizome. Relative decomposition rates were significantly greater in the first growth period (June to October) than the dormant period (November to May) in most cases. Rainfall was the most important abiotic variable, explaining 75–80% of the variability in mass loss rates. Concentrations of ethanol soluble substances and N were significantly positively correlated (r=0.77 to 0.97, P<0.05) with mass loss at an early stage (41 days). The ratios of lignin/N and C/N were found to be negatively correlated with mass loss rates at all stages of litter decomposition. C stock loss was similar to that of mass loss, whereas N stock loss was slower, except for S. kurilensis fine root litter. The evergreen understory species S. kurilensis exhibited greater N use efficiency than B. ermanii, suggesting better competitive ability that might favor the production of a high biomass and invasion under tree species like B. ermanii.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate effects of soil acidity on the formation of mycorrhizas in ash and sycamore, and (2) to elucidate if mycorrhization can improve the acquisition of Ca, Mg, and P by these tree species. Soil substrates with different Ca, Mg, and Al saturation were used in pot experiments with mycorrhizal ash and sycamore seedlings and various Ca and Mg fertilization treatments. The development of vesicular‐arbuscular‐mycorrhizas (VAM) in both species was considerably affected by the chemical soil properties and by the nutritional status of the plants. Mycorrhizal fungi developed well only in plants growing on basalt‐derived, Ca and Mg rich loam and in substrates fertilized with Ca and Mg carbonate. In these substrates, the pH value, Ca and Mg supply and growth of the plants were optimal. The mycorrhizas degenerated in an acid loam derived from phyllite, in tertiary sand and in all treatments receiving Ca and Mg sulfate. Ash and sycamore suffered from Ca and Mg (P) deficiency, and partly from Al antagonism against Ca and Mg uptake (sycamore) or Al toxicity (ash). The symbiosis between fungi and the plants was disrupted since the tree species and the VAM fungi (from fertile nursery soils) did not adapt to the acidic experimental soil substrates with high Al activity. Consequently, the fungi lost their function of supporting the plants by improved nutrient uptake and the plants likely did not produce enough organic substances for the fungi. In addition, N fertilization possibly suppressed the development of VA mycorrhizas and inhibited new colonization in acid substrates.  相似文献

Summary Microbial biomass in the upper 7 cm of soil and needle decomposition on the forest floor were measured seasonally for 10 months in a mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) old-growth forest and in a regrowth forest after Phellinus weirii, a root-rot pathogen infection, had caused disturbance. The microbial biomass was higher in the old-growth forest soil than in the regrowth forest soil. However, T. mertensiana needle decomposition rates were higher in the regrowth than in the old-growth forest. Total N, Ca, Fe, Cu, and Zn concentrations in needles increased during the 1st year of decomposition in both the old and the regrowth forests, but P, K, Mg, Mn, and B concentrations decreased. N, P, K, Mg, Cu, and Zn concentrations were lower in regrowth than in old-growth decomposing needles. During mineralization, needles in the regrowth forests released more N, P, and K as a result of higher needle decomposition rates. Our results suggest that higher needle decomposition rates increased the mineralization of N, P, and K, which may lead to increased soil fertility and faster tree growth rates in the regrowth forest.  相似文献

The microfungal flora of holm oak living, senesced and litter leaves was studied at five different stages of decomposition using three different isolation methods. Holm oak leaves are first colonized on the tree by a variety of primary saprophytes such as Trichothecium, Aureobasidium, Cladosporium, Epicoccum and Alternaria. After leaf fall there is an intensive development of the fungal flora, including both species already present in the phyllosphere and new colonizers from the litter layer. With increasing decomposition initial colonizers gradually disappear, being replaced by other forms. When all isolation methods were pooled, maximum biodiversity (species richness) of the fungus flora was observed during the first three stages of leaf litter decomposition, but strong variation occurred according to the isolation method. Sterilization of the leaf material revealed that a number of fungal strains were present inside the holm oak leaves before abscission, increasing from living to senescent stages, and that a strong decrease in the internal colonization of leaf litter was observed at late decomposition stages.  相似文献

The effect of dual inoculation on three local cultivars (Miss Kelly, Portland Red, Round Red) of red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.) with four strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli and three species of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi was examined in a clay loam soil. Rhizobial strains B 17 and B 36, each paired with Glomus pallidum or G. aggregatum, were the most effective pairings for cv. Miss Kelly. Inoculation of Miss Kelly with any of these pairings significantly (P=0.05) increased growth, number of nodules, nodule dry weight, mycorrhizal colonization, and shoot N and P content than other pairings. The growth response by cv. Portland Red was significantly improved by pairings of B 36 or B 17 with any of the three VAM fungi. For both cultivars (Miss Kelly and Portland Red), CIAT 652 or T 2 paired with VAM fungi did not give a positive growth response. In contrast, for cv Round Red the T 2 rhizobial strain in combination with any of the three VAM fungi showed a significant (P=0.05) growth improvement in all parameters. Our results suggest that while dual inoculation of VAM fungi and rhizobia significantly improves the growth response by red kidney beans, the best pairings of VAM fungus and rhizobia for each cultivar need to be carefully selected.  相似文献

Summary Five bacterial strains capable of Mn reduction were isolated from the rhizosphere of plants growing in different South Australian soils. They differed in their Mn-reducing capacity. The antagonism of these strains compared to the imported strain 2–79 (from the United States) against Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici was tested in agar and in a soil sandwich experiment at different Mn2+ concentrations in the soil. In addition, wheat seeds were coated with the different strains and with MnSO4 or with MnSO4 only in order to investigate their effect on plant growth and Mn uptake. With one exception, all strains inhibited the growth of G. graminis in agar, but to different degrees. In contrast, only two strains significantly inhibited the growth of the fungus in the soil. The hyphal density was decreased more than the hyphal length. The Mn2+ concentration in the soil also had a marked effect on fungal growth; low Mn concentrations slightly increased while high Mn concentrations strongly decreased the fungal growth. Seed treatment with MnSO4 only (+Mn) increased Mn uptake above that of the control (no seed treatment). Only the weakest Mn reducer on agar significantly increased plant growth and Mn uptake from soil in comparison with the Mn treatment. One strain was tested as seed coating without adding MnSO4; it increased the plant growth to an extent similar to the Mn treatment. Increasing the Mn uptake by plants may be one of the growth-promoting effects exerted by rhizosphere bacteria.  相似文献

Vesicular‐arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi have been proposed as a low‐input solution to the problem of inadequate phosphorus (P) levels in many tropical and subtropical soils. To determine the mycorrhizal dependency of two Hawaiian endemic tree species, mamane (Sophora chrysophylla Seem.) and koa (Acacia koa Gray), seedlings were grown in the greenhouse with and without the VAM fungus, Glomus aggregatum Schenck and Smith emend Koske, at three levels of soil solution P (0,0.02, and 0.20 mg P/L) in a volcanic ash soil. Inoculation significantly increased colonization of roots by the VAM fungus in both mamane and koa seedlings. At 0.02 mg P/L, mamane inoculated with the VAM fungus had significantly greater subleaflet P concentrations at 48 days after planting (DAP), and significantly greater leaf areas, shoot dry weights, and root lengths at harvest compared to uninoculated plants. At 0 mg P/L, koa grown in association with the VAM fungus had significantly greater subleaflet P concentrations at 41 DAP, and significantly greater leaf areas, and dry weights of leaves, stems, and roots at harvest. Mamane was highly dependent on the VAM association for maximum growth, while koa was moderately dependent on the VAM association. These results demonstrate that P uptake and early growth of mamane and koa can be increased significantly at low soil P levels by inoculating seedlings with an effective VAM fungus. Future research needs to demonstrate continuing positive growth benefits of VAM fungal inoculation after transplanting from the nursery to field conditions.  相似文献

Summary The vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus monosporum was inoculated on grapevine (Vitis vinifera), red clover (Trifolium pratense), meadow grass (Poa pratensis) and onion (Allium cepa) as hosts in two experiments carried out in different environments. Grapevine and clover showed the largest growth response and spore production. Mycorrhizal infection was lowest in meadow grass. Very poor correlations were observed, on an overall basis, between spore production and per cent root infection or infected root length. Spore production per unit infected root length for each host species was a comparatively stable parameter; it was largest for grapevine and smallest for meadow grass in both experiments. Sporulation was positively correlated with growth enhancement by mycorrhizal plants, and growth increments per unit infected root followed the same trend as spore numbers per unit infected root, i.e. largest for grapevine and lowest for meadow-grass. It is concluded that the ability of G. monosporum to produce spores and to enhance plant growth per unit infected root length depends on the host plant species.  相似文献

Application of biochar to soil to achieve any number of goals should also consider unintended effects upon soil biology, including symbioses such as arbuscular mycorrhizas. We conducted an experiment to examine the interaction of biochar addition and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus inoculation upon growth and phosphorus (P) uptake by Allium porrum L. and relate these responses to physicochemical properties of the biochars. A. porrum seedlings were grown with and without Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith, and either without biochar or in the presence of one of 12 different biochars created by pyrolysis of three biomass feedstocks. Fast pyrolysis biochars greatly reduced colonization of roots by the AM fungus. Among biochars produced by a given pyrolysis method, higher surface areas were accompanied by higher AM fungus colonization. These findings are pertinent in selecting biochars for application to agricultural soils for such purposes as inactivation of pathogenic bacteria while being mindful of potential impacts upon the AM symbiosis.  相似文献

假臭草植株不同分解阶段的化感作用动态变化   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
以小白菜为生测对象,采用滤纸培养皿试验和盆栽试验研究了自然状态下假臭草植株分解过程中化感作用的变化动态。滤纸培养皿试验结果表明:假臭草植株提取液对小白菜种子发芽的抑制作用随浓度增大而增大,且随植株分解时间的延长而逐渐减弱;就幼苗根长而言,不同分解时期0.1g·mL-l的假臭草提取液对根长均表现为抑制作用,除未分解的假臭草以外,其他时期其他浓度的假臭草提取液对根系生长均有促进作用;假臭草提取液对小白菜茎长总体表现为促进作用。假臭草与土壤混合的盆栽试验显示,未分解的假臭草与土壤以50g·2kg-1比例混合对小白菜种子发芽有抑制作用,抑制率达68%,在土壤中分解10d后抑制作用消失;各时期假臭草对小白菜生物量均有显著提高作用。可见,假臭草作为绿肥具有较好的营养价值,但需依据其在不同生长时期对不同作物的化感作用强度和时间设置合理的施用量与施用方法。  相似文献
