Genetic diversity and potential function of microbial symbionts associated with newly discovered species of Osedax polychaete worms.

abstract：:Piriformospora indica (Hymenomycetes, Basidiomycota) is a newly described cultivable endophyte that colonizes roots. Inoculation with the fungus and application of fungal culture filtrate promotes plant growth and biomass production. Due to its ease of culture, this fungus provides a model organism for the study of be...
