What does the published scientific research say about Glomus claroideum?

Eight PubMed records reference Glomus claroideum — also cataloged under the synonyms Glomus maculosum, Glomus multisubstensum, and Glomus fistulosum — placing it within peer-reviewed research on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as plant inputs.

The most direct study in this dataset investigated how G. claroideum co-exists with Glomus intraradices in the root systems of Tripleurospermum inodorum and Calamagrostis epigejos during early primary succession on a coal-mine spoil bank. Both AMF colonized roots at similar rates. Researchers reported, however, that plant growth depression observed under G. claroideum inoculation alone persisted in mixed inoculation, and that combining both species offered no additional growth benefit over a single-species treatment. Co-inoculation with G. claroideum also altered gene expression in G. intraradices.

The remaining records in this dataset address AMF biostimulant applications and sustainable agriculture broadly — covering Glomus species in soil carbon cycling, seleniferous soils, and urban brownfield remediation — but do not report findings specific to G. claroideum. Researchers or formulators asking what the scientific literature says about Glomus claroideum will find the peer-reviewed evidence for this species specifically is currently limited to the co-inoculation interaction study described above.
