Abstract: The results showed that the test fungi strains could utilize a broad kind of carbon sources, and glucose and fructose were the optimal. With Cnutrition, the average growth of fungi was 4.4 times higher than the control. Organic nitrogen was more efficient than inorganic one, with an average growth of 1.6 times higher than the latter. With inorganic Nsources, the strains grew faster on nitrate, with an average growth of 2.5 times higher than that of control, and utilized ammonium slightly poor only with an average growth of 2.2 times higher.

Key words: Oak, Mycorrhizal fungi, Utilization of carbon and nitrogen nutrients
