Rhizoglomus gen. nov. (Glomeraceae, Glomeromycetes) is proposed, typified by Glomus intraradices [≡ Rhizoglomus intraradices]. The genus encompasses species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that frequently form abundant spores in soil and roots and is morphologically characterized by spores with cylindrical subtending hyphae (usually with an open pore at the base) and at least two or three (rarely up to five) distinct wall layers. Phylogenetically, the genus forms a separate clade in the Glomeraceae. In addition to R. intraradices, the genus includes R. aggregatum, R. antarcticum, R. arabicum, R. clarum, R. custos, R. fasciculatum, R. invermaium, R. irregulare, R. manihotis, R. microaggregatum, R. natalense, and R. proliferum. Some of these species were previously assigned to Rhizophagus (type: R. populinus), a pathogenic genus that does not belong in the Glomeromycota.

• Bacteria and fungi can contribute to nutrients bioavailability and aggregate formation in degraded soils. (2016, unknown): “According to Wu et al., (2005), K uptake was increased in corn crop after inoculation of G. mosseae (now, Funneliformis mosseae) and G. intraradices (now, Rhizoglomus intraradices) (Sieverding et al., 2014).”
