ABSTRACT
Metagenomics approaches have revealed the importance of Mucoromycota in the evolution and functioning of plant microbiomes. Comprised of three subphyla (Glomeromycotina, Mortierellomycotina, and Mucoromycotina), this early diverging lineage of fungi encompasses species of mycorrhizal fungi, root endophytes, plant pathogens, and many decomposers of plant debris. Interestingly, several taxa of Mucoromycota share a common feature, that is, the presence of endobacteria within their mycelia and spores. The study of these endosymbiotic bacteria is still a challenging task. However, given recent improvements in the sensitivity of culture-free approaches, a deeper understanding of such microbial interactions is now possible and fuels an emerging research field. In this chapter, we report how Mucoromycota, in particular Mortierellomycotina, and their endobacteria can be investigated using a combination of diverse cellular biology, microscopy, and molecular techniques.
