This grant supports the International Culture Collection of Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (INVAM) at West Virginia University. INVAM will collect, maintain, and distribute authenticated mycorrhizal fungi for research and education activities. Mycorrhyzal fungi are important mutualistic microorganisms in that they have a principal role in maximizing productivity and longevity of plants in natural and cultivated ecosystems. Mycorrhyzal fungi are difficult to culture and maintain. Research progress on this organism depends on a central repository of germplasm maintained under defined conditions. INVAM is expected to serve as a focal point for mycorrhyzal research.

该基金支持西弗吉尼亚大学的国际囊状-丛枝菌根真菌培养收藏（INVAM）。INVAM将收集、维护和分发经过认证的菌根真菌，用于研究和教育活动。菌根真菌是一种重要的共生微生物，在提高自然和人工生态系统中植物的生产力和寿命方面发挥着重要作用。菌根真菌很难培养和维持。对这种生物的研究进展依赖于在规定条件下保持的种质资源库。INVAM有望成为菌根菌研究的焦点。
