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

莫顿这一奖项再次得到了西弗吉尼亚大学水疱丛枝菌根真菌国际培养收藏（INVAM）的支持。收集的生物是土壤传播的生物，与大多数高等植物物种的根有益共生。目前已鉴定出154种此类真菌；该系列中有64种，还有44种尚未确定的菌株。由于这些真菌与植物的密切联系，它们可能在可持续农业实践的发展中发挥重要作用，并可能在生物修复中发挥重要作用。该奖项为INVAM在维护和分发目前收集的1000多个菌株以及继续加入新物种和地理分离株方面的努力提供了部分支持。1995年，向全世界用户分发了1000多个样品。INVAM从大学和向用户收取的费用中获得额外支持。＊＊＊

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. ***
