This study investigated the bacterial communities present on the ectomycorrhizal roots of Laccaria laccata using culture-and cloning-based methods. One soil core was collected from five locations where sporocarps of L. laccata occurred in a chestnut plantation. A total of 10 and 50 ectomycorrhizal root tips of L. laccata were collected from each soil core and subjected to bacterial isolation and cloning. In total, 223 isolates were classified into 35 molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs). The majority of MOTUs were infrequent, whereas one MOTU each of Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium were common across the sampling locations. In the cloning-based method, 77 MOTUs were detected. The majority of these MOTUs were infrequent, whereas one MOTU each of Bradyrhizobium and one taxon of Gammaproteobacteria was common across the sampling locations. These results indicate that Bradyrhizobium is a common member of bacteria present on the ectomycorrhizal roots of L. laccata in the chestnut plantation.© 2018 The Mycological Society of Japan.

The ecological characteristics of this fungus indicate that it is a pioneer species and often found in disturbed areas with young stands, such as volcanic deserts (Nara, Nakaya, & Hogetsu, 2003) and plantations (eg, Mason, Last, Pelham, & Ingleby, 1982). Therefore, L. laccata has been regarded as one of the promising EcM fungi that can be used as a bioresource for promoting seedling growth in nursery conditions and thus has been used extensively in applied research (eg, Sinclair, Sylvia, & Larsen, 1982). On the other hand, the fungus can be easily manipulated under experimental conditions and the production of sporocarps can also be relatively easily induced after inoculation onto compatible host seedlings (eg, Molina, 1982) or even under axenic conditions without host plants (Davis & Jong, 1976). Hence, the fungus can also be used as a model species for basic research investigating the biology of the fungus itself and the biological interactions with other organisms, as L. bicolor that has been extensively studied for understanding fungal biology and ecology as a model species (eg, Martin et al., 2008).
