Abstract

Summary Out of the rhizosphere of Galium aparine plants non-mycorrhizal filamentous fungi were isolated and taxiconomically determined. This revealed differences in quantity and quality of settlement depending on plant age, place and soil depth. In comparison to the rhizosphere of Polygonum persicaria and Stellaria media plants as well as to soil from six different places, specific and non-specific fungi genera were found in the mycocoenosis. Fungi strains of the genera Aspergillus, Mucor, Penicillium and Rhizopus occurred in all test variants. Concerning the specific fungi genera 22 were identified for Galium plants, 1 for Polygonum plants, 6 for Stellaria plants and 4 soil-specific ones, where as the fungi strains of the genera Catenularia, Oidiodendron and Stysanus grew on Galium agar only. The examination of the fungi strains for antifungal activities revealed the dominance of the genera Penicillium and Fusarium.
