NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE DETERMINATION OF PHOSPHATASE ACTIVITY IN ECTOMYCORRHIZAE OF NOTHOFAGUS OBLIQUA FORESTS IN SOUTHERN CHILE
We present a method to localise and quantify surface-bound phosphatase activity (SBPA) in mycorrhizal fungi and mycorrhizae of Nothofagus obliqua (Mirb.) Oerst., using image processed confocal fluorescent microscopy. ELF-97 is a hydrophilic substrate which turns into a strongly fluorescent precipita...
