Second day of the X Workshop on Taxonomy of Glomeromycota and we already discussed the spore development model, observed 10 spp. in Gigasporaceae, discussed methods to grow these fungi and visited facilities of CICG. We are ready to dive in Acaulosporaceae and Entrophosporaceae tomorrow!!
The IMS needs your help! See ad below
We are studying AMF traits of families in Glomeromycota. Spoiler from an experiment investigating the effect of soil pH on sporulation, mycorrhizal colonization and external hyphae production, part of the Master's thesis of Lidia Laurindo with collaboration of @1pantunes.bsky.social

How resilient are AMF cultures? Gi. decipiens SCT711C and Paraglomus sp. SCT771G stored for 8 years at 4C still kicking and alive. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for you all folks!! Cheers

Lab is all set and organized to receive students, technicians and researchers from Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina and Peru to attend the X Workshop on Taxonomy of Glomeromycota. Four days learning about AMF spore morphology, spore wall, germinal walls, and how to grow them. Excited!!
After mounting and observing spores of 27 AMF species in four days, participants of the taxonomy workshop deserved good beer and some typical german food from Blumenau. I am very happy for this 10th edition of the workshop, it is four days with good discussion about AMF taxonomy and biology.
I’m also looking for a PhD student to investigate crop-mycorrhizal interactions, more info about the project and application process here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
