ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SYMBIOTIC ENDO BACTERIA FROM GIGASPORA ALBIDA

摘要

The aim of the work is to identify the bacteria associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can host endobacteria (BLOs) in their cytoplasm. The isolated BLO strains are identified as Cronobacter pulveris Strain SMSA-KF534713, Bacillus cereus Strain KM111172 and Bacillus cereus Strain KM111173 on the basis of morphological, biochemical and molecular characterization.
