Four replicates were analyzed (a, b, c, d) per plant. Upper case letters show species dominating the spore populations in the corresponding replicate field sample. The spores of Glomus sp.OMA6, Scutellospora sp. OMA10, Glomus sp. OMA2, Glomus sp. OMA3, Glomus sp. OMA9, Glomus sp. OMA5, Glomus sp. OMA7, and Glomus sp. OMA8 (Glomus sp. MEX1; Bashan et al. 2007) resembled spores of Glomus liquidambaris, Scutellospora aurigloba, Glomus versiforme, Glomus invermaium, Glomus glomerulatum, Glomus multicaule, Glomus tortuosum, and Glomus rubiforme, respectively; Glomus sp. OMA3, Glomus sp. OMA5, Glomus sp. OMA8, and Glomus sp. OMA9 are undescribed species; others have not yet been clearly attributable to resembling known species. R. fulgida and R. gregaria are the former Scutellospora fulgida and Scutellospora gregaria, respectively (Oehl et al. 2008)
