Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Glomeribacter gigasporarum” is an endocellular β-proteobacterium present in the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Gigaspora margarita . We established a protocol to isolate “ Ca . Glomeribacter gigasporarum” from its host which allowed us to carry out morphological, physiological, and genomic investigations on purified bacteria. They are rod shaped, with a cell wall typical of gr
