Maintenance and Expansion of the International Culture Collection of Arbuscular and Vesicular-arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (INVAM)

9600699莫顿这一奖项重申了对西弗吉尼亚大学泡状丛枝菌根真菌国际培养收藏的支持。收集的生物是土传生物，与大多数高等植物物种的根在有益的共生中生长。已鉴定出154种这样的真菌；在标本集中有代表性，还有44个尚未鉴定的菌株。由于它们与植物的密切联系，这些真菌很可能在可持续农业实践的发展中发挥重要作用，并有可能在生物修复方面发挥作用。该奖项为INVAM维护和分发现有1000多个菌株以及继续加入新物种和地理隔离株所做的努力提供了部分支持。1995年，向世界各地的用户分发了1000多份样本。INVAM从大学和向用户收取的费用中获得额外的支持。***

9600699 Morton This award renews support of the International Culture Collection of Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhyzal fungi (INVAM) at West Virginia University. The collected organisms are soil- borne organisms that grow in beneficial symbiosis with the roots of most higher plant species. 154 species of such fungi have been identified; 64 are represented in the collection, along with 44 as yet unidentified strains. Because of their intimate association with plants, such fungi are likely to play an important role in development of sustainable agriculture practices and, potentially, in bioremediation. The award provides partial support for the INVAM's efforts in maintaining and distributing over 1000 strains now in the collection as well as the continued accession of new species and geographic isolates. In 1995, over 1000 samples were distributed to users world-wide. The INVAM receives additional support from the University and from fees charged to users. ***
