Molecular evidence supports simultaneous association of the achlorophyllous orchid Chamaegastrodia inverta with ectomycorrhizal Ceratobasidiaceae and Russulaceae [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2020 Background Achlorophyllous orchids are mycoheterotrophic plants, which lack photosynthetic ability and associate with fungi to acquire carbon from different environmental sources. In tropical latitudes, achlorophyllous forest orchids show a preference to

Variability in Nutrient Use by Orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi in Two Medium Types [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) from the rhizoctonia aggregate are generally considered to be soil saprotrophs, but their ability to utilize various nutrient sources has been studied in a limited number of isolates cultivated predominantly in liquid media,

Diversity of Mycorrhizal Fungi in Temperate Orchid Species: Comparison of Culture-Dependent and Culture-Independent Methods [PDF]
Journal of FungiMany orchid species are endangered due to anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction and overharvesting, meanwhile, all orchids rely on orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) for seed germination and seedling growth. Therefore, a better understanding of

Co‐occurring orchid species associated with different low‐abundance mycorrhizal fungi from the soil in a high‐diversity conservation area in Denmark [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPlant–fungal interactions are ubiquitous across ecosystems and contribute significantly to plant ecology and evolution. All orchids form obligate symbiotic relationships with specific fungi for germination and early growth, and the distribution of ...

Shifts in bacterial community composition during symbiotic seed germination of a terrestrial orchid and effects on protocorm development [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumFungi and bacteria often occupy very similar niches; they interact closely with each other, and bacteria can provide direct or indirect benefits to plants that form mutualistic interactions with fungi.
