Project name: uncultured fungus

Description: Pterocarpus officinalis (Jacq.) is a leguminous forestry tree species endemic to Caribbean swamp forests. In Guadeloupe, smallholder farmers traditionally cultivate flooded taro (Colocasia esculenta) cultures under the canopy of P. officinalis stands. An in-depth characterization of root-associated AM fungal communities from both plant species, sampled in two localities of Guadeloupe, was performed by pyrosequencing of partial 18S rRNA gene.
