A new fungus of the Glomeraceae found in the rhizosphere of Agave sisalana is described under the epithet Septoglomus titan. It forms large glomerospores, (243–)265 × 325(–400) μm in diameter. They generally are subglobose and have three spore
wall layers: a semi-persistent short lived sub-hyaline to yellow-brown outer layer (0.5–1.4 μm thick), an adherent smooth light-yellow to orange-brown middle layer (2.5–5.1 μm), and a laminate smooth thick orange brown to dark red brown innermost layer (12.8–19.2 μm).
Spore size and colors of the spore wall layers separate this species from other yellow-brown to dark-brown species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
