✦ Synopsis
The effect of manganese on the development of vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizae and on the population of Mn-oxidizing soil bacteria was studied using red clover as host plant and Glomus mosseae or G. aggregatum as VA-colonizing fungi. The addition of Mn to the substrate in which plants grew had a detrimental effect on root colonization, G. aggregatum being more susceptible than G. mosseae. Mn uptake was lower in mycorrhizal than in non-mycorrhizal plants, especially when colonized by G. mosseae. The development of mycorrhizae seems to favour the Mn-oxidizing bacteria population.
