TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of two Glomus etunicatum isolates from New Caledonian ultramafic maquis (shrubland), on nickel tolerance of a model plant species Sorghum vulgare, and of two ultamafic endemic plant species indicates the potential of selected native AMF isolate from ultramAFic areas for ecological restoration of such degraded ecosystems.

TL;DR: Co-inoculation of AMF belonging to different families was more efficient in improving biomass, mineral nutrition, Ca/Mg ratio, and tolerance to heavy metals of plants in ultramafic soil, suggesting functional complementarity between distantly related AMF.

TL;DR: The Nouvelle-Caledonie is a hotspot de biodiversite de la planete as mentioned in this paper, which is the origin of terrains miniers and terrains ultramafiques.

TL;DR: Data support hypotheses that a relationship exists between the mycorrhizal status of Cyperaceae and their habitat, and that AM have a positive role in plant tolerance to ultramafic soils (mineral nutrition and metal tolerance), and suggest the use of these pioneer plants with AM management as potential tools for nickel mine site rehabilitation in New Caledonia.

TL;DR: It is proposed that strain SFOCin 76 should be classified in the genus Streptomyces as StrePTomyces yatensis sp.
