Abstract
Abstract Research on the rhizosphere of Loudetia simplex C. E. Hubbard, typical grass of Ivory Coast.—Investigations on the rhizosphere microflora of Loudetia simplex, spontaneous grass in Lamto savannah of Ivory Coast, were carried out. Sampling was made at five different periods in the year to point out differences connected to climatic factors. Quantitative data of total microflora—bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi—are listed for each root tip sampled. Quantitative and qualitative data of fungal population for each seasonal period are also reported. About two hundred species, including Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Fungi Imperfecti, were identified. The most frequent genera are Penicillium and Aspergillus. The occurrence of Rhinocladiella indica, Chaetomium fusisporale and Gongronella butleri is taxonomically and ecologically remarkable. Rhizosphere and soil fungal populations are compared, in order to evaluate the degree of specialization of the species recorded. The genus Aspergillus ...
