Descriptions of Some Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Produced under Artificial Conditions and Collected in Korea

Eighty two soil samples were nation widely collected from nine places in Korea. Each soils were used as the inocula for the pot culture of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The twenty two species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were successfully cultured by using the small pots under the conditions of green house and identified under light microscopes. Out of them, the five species were first isolated and decribed in Korea; Acaulospora morrowiae, A. rugosa, A. longula, Glomus fecundisporum, Gl. deserticolar. Three species of genus Glomus were not identified and Glomus clarum reporeted by Eom and Lee (1989) was redescribed.
