What does the published scientific research say about Claroideoglomus claroideum?

Claroideoglomus claroideum (formerly Entrophospora claroidea) is an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) referenced in 8 PubMed articles examining its effects as a plant-growth input. Studies in the scientific literature cover tomato, common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), wheat, apple rootstocks, and copper mine tailing phytoremediation — giving researchers and growers asking what the research says about C. claroideum a cross-crop view.

Peer-reviewed research reports strong outcomes in several hosts. Single-species C. claroideum inoculation in tomato is cited as increasing fruit fresh weight by 84% and lycopene concentration by 124.5% versus non-inoculated controls. In black turtle bean, the literature reports a 15% increase in seed phosphorus, with elevated seed potassium and copper. For wheat, studies cite improved P uptake and root growth, though magnitude depended heavily on cultivar.
