In 1977, the fine root endophyte, originally named Rhizophagus tenuis , was transferred into the genus Glomus as G. tenue , thus positioning the species with all other known arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ( Glomeromycota , Glomeromycotina ). Recent molecular evidence, however, places it in a different...
