Clover plants
(
T. repens

Pot experiment
Siderophore production but
few unidentified strains
also showed growth in
N-free media suggesting
that they could be nitrogen-
fixing bacteria

Co-inoculation with AM
fungi
Glomus mosseae
without host; in vitro
and in soil
Stimulated mycelial develop-
ment from
G. mosseae
spores; MCR9 and MCR26
also showed stimulated
germination of AM spores

Pot experiment with host;
co-inoculated with AM
fungi
Glomus mosseae
Significant plant growth (par-
ticularly shoot biomass at
the end of the assay)
Increased N and P acquisition
by plants due to synergic
effect
Increased the total mycorrhizal
root length of
Glomus
inoculated plants
