Geosiphon (Geosiphon pyriformis, synonym G. pyriforme) is a rare glomeromycotan soil fungus in Archaeosporales that uniquely hosts the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme inside bladder-like vesicles instead of forming arbuscular mycorrhiza with plants.
Glomus (fungus)
Glomus, a genus of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (phylum Glomeromycota, family Glomeraceae; type species Glomus macrocarpum) forming root symbioses; historically the largest AMF genus, now known to be non-monophyletic, with species delimited by phosphate transporter genes and many species renamed, e.g. G. intraradices to Rhizophagus.
Rhizophagus irregularis
Rhizophagus irregularis (formerly Glomus intraradices/G. irregulare) is a model arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus symbiotic with ~80% of plant species; strain DAOM197198 was the first AMF genome sequenced.
