SPORE WALL: Two layers (L1 and L2), the outer layer continuous with the wall of the neck of the parent sporiferous saccule and the inner layer initiates origination of the spore. Below (left to right) is the sequence in differentiation of all spore subcellular structures.
Arbuscules generally stain lightly in trypan blue, making observation of fine architecture difficult. Intraradical hyphae and vesicles stain with much more varying intensity, from almost invisible to quite dark. Infection units appear to be patchily distributed in red clover, sudangrass, and corn, with oblong to irregular vesicles often forming in localized clusters.
Spain (1992) reports orbs in E. colombiana spores to be slightly ovoid with an inward spiral configuration and simpler than the ones found in Acaulospora species. This orb forms on gw2, from which germ tubes form and penetrate through the spore wall. They are difficult to see except in older spores where contents have cleared with fusion of lipid globules in the spore lumen, mostly because each is wide enough to span most of the diameter of a spore. The photo at right was provided courtesy of Joyce Spain.
Median and mean distance from spore to saccule are 30 and 36 m, respectively. A few spores are atypically dark red-brown (0-40-100-0). The smaller of the two cicatrices has a collar 1-1.3 m high. The large cicatrix is recognized by a small lip as a remnant from where the saccule neck branched during spore formation.
The differentiation sequence in spores is exactly that of A. mellea, with the same subcellular structure and organization. When only sessile spores are extracted from field or pot culture soils, these two species can be distinguished by the number of scars (cicatrices) on the spore wall surface.
Save the date! Join us on Saturday, July 27th from 12 PM to 10 PM in Grand Rapids to celebrate our annual Gran Fiesta de Independencia Colombiana! Where we will have live music, drinks, shows and much more For more details, follow @granfiestacolombianagr to not miss out on any of the celebration!
The abbreviation of the journal title "Biota colombiana" is "Biota Colomb.". It is the recommended abbreviation to be used for abstracting, indexing and referencing purposes and meets all criteria of the ISO 4 standard for abbreviating names of scientific journals.
The abbreviation system known as ISO 4 is a standardized approach by the International Organization for Standardization for shortening journal titles. This uniform method ensures that journal titles are both consistent and easily recognizable in scholarly communication.
Journal title abbreviations can be classified into ISO (International Organization for Standardization) for general disciplines, NLM (National Library of Medicine) for biomedical and life sciences, and CASSI (CAS Source Index) for chemistry and related fields.
