ACTIVITATEA MICROBIOLOGICA PE PARCURSUL ANULUI
Soil provides plants with physical stability, chemical
stability (availability of water, oxygen, mineral nutrients), and is responsible for the recycling of mineral nutrients used by plants and deposited in dead plant tissue. Bacteria and fungi are the main soil microorganisms responsible for this latter task.
WHILE BACTERIA ARE TRUE MICROORGANISMS, FUNGI
ARE CONSIDERABLY LARGER AND SOMETIMES CAN BE SEEN EVEN BY THE NAKED EYE
IN ADDITION, THIS PRESENTATION WILL FEATURE SOME
MORE ORGANISMS OF INTERMEDIATE SIZE: PROTISTS (LIKE THESE CILIATES) AND NEMATODES
COOPERATION WORKS BEST IN SPECIFIC PLANT ORGANS,
THE BACTERIA ARE DIRECTLY ENCLOSED BY PLANT TISSUE
In contrast to bacteria, fungi can transport nutrients over
long distances respective symbioses are called mycorrhiza
Arbuscular mycorrhiza is the most ancient and widespread of
such symbioses
The fungal partners extract mineral nutrients from soil
compartments not accessible to their plant partners
Here, mineral nutrients are provided to the plant, while the
fungus receives photosynthetic sugar
