title: Sb-S
design: To isolate mycorrhizal fungi, the surfaces of the 5.0 g collected mycorrhiza were disinfected by overnight chlorine fumigation. Under sterile conditions, the disinfected mycorrhizae samples were then cut into small cubes (side length: 0.5 cm) using a scalpel and inoculated onto MMN medium (Brundrett et al., 1996), followed by incubation at 26 C in the dark.
