Ames & Sneider (1979) |
| Etymology: | Greek: "spore nourished from within" |
| Description: | In this genus, spores are borne from within the neck of a pre-differentiated "sporiferous saccule". Ontogenesis of spore and inner walls mirrors that found in spores of Acaulospora. |
| Type species: | E.
infrequens
(Hall) Ames & Schneider [= Glomus infrequens Hall] |
The distinction between Entrophospora and its sister genus, Acaulospora, seems large in the positioning of the spore as it develops from the saccule neck, but it reality it is a small variation in overall development of spores. This topic was explored in an article first published in the INVAM Newsletter, Vol. 5, No. 1 that now can be viewed on-line for viewers who are interested (click here).
