AbstractMost studies exploring the contribution of the mycorrhizal symbiosis to plant metal tolerance focus on plant-metal uptake anddisregard metal effects on the symbiotic fungi. We examined the tolerance of the model arbuscular mycorrhizal fungusRhizophagus irregularisto Al and Pb in vitro cultures with transformed carrot (Daucus carota L.) roots that exclude theinterference of other microbiota. We studied the development of roots and external mycelium of R. irregularis in monoxenic andaxenic...

To evaluate the effects of seasonal fluctuations, soil types, land use and management inputs on the abundance and composition of soil bacteria, twenty soils types from Moldavia region located in north-eastern Romania were compared. Changes in soil microbiota are an early and sensitive indicator of soil pollution and can be used to predict long-term trends in soil quality. The use of microbial properties as indicator of soil pollution is easily measured and can also be measured accurately across ...
