The influence of different stresses on glomalin levels in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus--salinity increases glomalin content. [PDF]
Glomalin is a glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, and the soil fraction containing glomalin is correlated with soil aggregation.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Glomalin [PDF]
The interactions between plant, soil, and mycorrhizal fungi are ecologically and agriculturally beneficial systems. Mycorrhizal fungi are capable of forming a symbiosis with the roots of many plants in nature. In this symbiosis, the plant receives help from the mycorrhizal fungus in nutrient and water uptake.

Glomalin: A Miracle Protein for Carbon Sequestration
AMF (Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi)’s hyphae and spore walls releases a special kind of glycoprotein i.e. Glomalin. AMF belongs to the phylem Glomeromycota which was previously known as Zygomycota. There exists a symbiotic relationship of this fungi with terrestrial plants (~80%), that includes major commercial species viz.

The role of glomalin in soil erosion
Glomalin is a glycoprotein, a sugar protein compound that might trigger the formation of soil. In this study we analyze the different organic matters which inhance mycorrhizal fungi and produce glomalin which is dependent upon the types of organic matter. The more glomalin in a particular soil, the soil probably is better. The amount of glomalin in the

From glomalin to glomalose: unraveling the molecular identity of the MAb32B11 antigen [PDF]
Summary Glomalin, a substance produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, has well‐documented benefits for plant and soil health, including water retention and soil aggregation. Glomalin quantification has been performed by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a monoclonal antibody, MAb32B11, that has been described as targeting a heat ...

Impact of forest degradation on soil properties in the Peruvian Amazon [PDF]
Background The Amazonian forests are increasingly threatened due to continuous changes in land use, particularly deforestation. This study aimed to quantify and analyze the vertical distribution of soil glomalin and its relationship with carbon, climate,

Arbuscular mycorrhizae, glomalin, and soil aggregation
Arbuscular mycorrhizae are important factors of soil quality through their effects on host plant physiology, soil ecological interactions, and their contributions to maintaining soil structure. The symbiosis is faced with numerous challenges in agroecosystems; in order to inform sustainable management strategies it is hence a high priority to work ...

Glomalin - an interesting protein part of the soil organic matter [PDF]
The negative effects of the current agricultural practices include erosion, acidification, loss of soil organic matter (dehumification), loss of soil structure, soil contamination by risky elements, reduction of biological diversity and land use for non ...

MYCORRHIZAL GROWTH RESPONSE AND GLOMALIN PRODUCTION EFFECTED BY ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI (AMF) AND NITROGEN OF ORGANIC MATERIALS ON CORN [PDF]
Symbiotic relationships between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants can increase the capacity of plants to absorb nutrients and water from the soil by exploring micropores not accessible to plant roots.

Glomalin mediation of plant functional traits unveiled in an extreme ecosystem
Edaphic filters associated with symbiotic relationships are determinants of plant phenotypes. Here we investigate whether glomalin, a by-product of mycorrhizal fungi that improves soil structure and quality, is involved in the filtering of traits that determine plant ecological strategies.
