The Relationship Between Certain Microbiological and Some Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Parameters of Plants Prevalent Around an Aluminum Bauxite Mine Deposit. Applied Ecology and Environmental Research, 17(5), 10941-10961.1589-16231785-0037https://dx.doi.org/10.15666/aeer/1705_1094110961https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/38313The aim of our research was to study certain microorganisms living in the root areas of plants growing in stressed habitats such as mining sites. In the present study, the distributions of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (A.M.F.) spores in the root rhizospheres of certain plants (Onopordum acanthium, Festuca glauca, Euphorbia helioscopia L., Plantago lanceolata L., Salvia officinalis, Mentha pulegium L., Verbascum thapsus L. and Crocus sativus L.) that are prevalent around the Seydisehir Aluminum Plant Bauxite Deposit (SAPBD) were examined along with the infection rates of these spores in the plant roots, and the morphological definitions of these spores were presented. The highest values in the number of arbuscular mycorrhizal spores, arbuscular mycorrhizal infection rate, dehydrogenase, catalase, urease enzyme activities, the total number of bacteria, the vesicle and arbuscule rates, and also the DSE (dark septate endophyte) fungal structures were obtained from the plant Euphorbia helioscopia L., and the soils taken from its rhizosphere. The most prevalent spore species detected in the soils sampled from the Bauxite Mine sampling area were Glomus sp., Acaulospora sp. and Archaeospora sp. Fluctuations were observed in the arbuscular mycorrhizal infection rates of the roots depending on the species of the plants.en10.15666/aeer/1705_1094110961info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessmycorrhizal infection ratespore numbermine areamorphological identificationSeydiehirArticle1751094110961Q3WOS:000490563900047Q4
