| Abstract: | The interactions between Phaseolus vulgaris, Rhizobium spp. strains nodulating P. vulgaris, and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were assessed under greenhouse conditions in a nonsterilized Typic Haplustalf soil
from Cauca, Colombia. Our results indicate a specific involvement of AM fungal species in nitrogen acquisition by the legume
plants from symbiotic nitrogen fixation and from soil. A significant specific influence of inoculation with Glomus spp. on the 15N/14N ratio in plant shoots was dependent on the inoculated rhizobial strain, but AM fungal inoculation had no significant effect
on shoot dry weight or nodule occupancy in the two different rhizobial strain treatments. The results imply that in low P
soils the effects of an improved mycorrhizal symbiosis may include improved symbiotic N2 fixation efficiency and/or improved soil N uptake.
