		%
PLFAs	P-free	23.2	1.8	6.2	15.1	31.0	11.4	11.2
	High-P	14.7	0.0	6.2	13.8	40.0	18.1	7.1

Experiment 1. Mean fatty acid composition (n = 4) of PLFAs and NLFAs in mycelium of G. intraradices in P-free medium and with 2.5 mm KH₂PO₄ (high-P). The nomenclature for fatty acids follows that of Tunlid and White (1992).
