INTERNATIONAL CULTURE COLLECTION OF GLOMEROMYCOTA

Welcome to CICG

The International Culture Collection of Glomeromycota (CICG) is located at the Regional University of Blumenau (FURB), in Blumenau, SC, southern region of Brazil. The content of this website focus on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF - phylum Glomeromycota), a widespread group of soil fungi that establish the arbuscular mycorrhizal association with land plants. The CICG intends to become a reference center for researchers in the area who will be able to use the resources available to deposit AMF cultures, to subsidize research that requires species identification, and to train human resources in systematics, taxonomy, and cultivation of AMF. The growth and continuation of this collection depends on the use and interactions that researchers and mycorrhizologist will make of it.
