Abstract. Tuheteru FD, Husna, Albasri, Arif A, Wulan SA, Kramadibrata K. 2019. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with adaptive plants in gold mine tailing. Biodiversitas 20: 3398-3404. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are fungi from division Glomeremycota within the kingdom Fungi, which have a broad ecological range and symbiosis with a variety of vegetations, including vegetations in gold post-mining areas or gold tailings. The study of identifying types of AMF in gold tailings in Southeast Sulawesi is still limited. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of AMF in the rhizosphere of adaptive plants in gold tailings land in Bombana District, Southeast Sulawesi. Soil samples were collected from adaptive plants in Perseroan Terbatas (PT) Panca Logam Makmur, Bombana District, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. AM Fungi spores were isolated and identified based on their morphological characteristics (shape, size, color, attached hyphae, and spore ornamentation). Five types of AMF were identified, namely Glomus aggregatum, Sclerocystis sinuosa, Acaulospora scrobiculata, A. tuberculata, Scutellospora pellucida, and two genera that had not been identified up to species, Glomus sp. and Scutellospora sp. In addition to spores, the symbiosis of AM Fungi with adaptive plants was also demonstrated by the structure of AM Fungi in plant roots with a rate of 74% colonization. S. pellucida and S. sinuosa were recorded as new species in Indonesia and Sulawesi, respectively. While A. tuberculata is a type of AMF that enriches AMF diversity in Southeast Sulawesi.

Changes in landscape ecology between nature reserve and palm oil plantation in West Java, Indonesia based on the observations of macrofungal population

“…Several species of macrofungi were associated with Orania sylvicola. These associations were possible as mycorrhizae in roots, saprophytes of plant biomass that fell to the forest floor, and facultative parasites (Tuheteru et al 2019).…”

Effect of Type and Dose of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi to Growth and Yield of Citronella Grass (Cymbopogon nardus L.) in Former Mining Area Land in Sawahlunto

“…This condition was caused by oxygen consumption two times so the root could expand mineral salt absorption by expanding ion supply exchange. Nutrient supply increasing from root that associated with AMF would increase photosynthate result that would be translocated to part of plant that required it during vegetative stage [17].…”

Abundance of Associated Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi with Pioneer Plants in Affected Area by Mount Merapi Eruption

“…The spores in the genus Scutellospora and Gigaspores form a bulbous suspensor holder of hyphae, but the spores on Scutellopspora have an ornament germination shield (Nusantara et al, 2012). The spores in the genus Scleriocyctis are brown, forming a mark (sporocarp), and the outside is slippery (Tuheteru et al, 2019). Spores in the genus Acaulospora are light brown to dark brown and round (INVAM, 2017;Lee et al, 2018).…”
