Transport of Phosphorus by Fungal Mycelium
Abstract
TRANSLOCATION of nutrients by fungal mycelium has been reported by Schütte1 and by Grossbard and Stranks2. Attempts in this Department to determine the rate of transport of phosphorus using a tracer technique have, however, indicated that the mycelium of Phycomyces nitens, Absidia glauca and Chaetomiums pp. is only able to transport phosphorus-32 under certain limited conditions.
