      abstract     = {Background and aims:Phosphorus (P) from surface waters can
                      be captured in algal biomass, which can be used as a
                      fertilizer. We investigated the efficiency of polyculture
                      algal biofilms produced on municipal wastewater effluent as
                      a P fertilizer for wheat. We asked whether arbuscular
                      mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and the beneficial root endophyte
                      Serendipita vermifera influence plant performance and P
                      uptake.Methods:Two pot experiments were performed with wheat
                      fertilized with algal biofilms or highly available triple
                      superphosphate (TSP) at a rate of 37 mg P kg−1,
                      corresponding to 56.8 kg ha−1. In the second experiment,
                      plants were inoculated with AMF (Rhizoglomus irregulare,
                      Funneliformis mosseae, F. geosporum), S. vermifera, or both.
                      P species contained in the algal biofilm and P release
                      dynamics were analyzed by liquid-state 31P nuclear magnetic
                      resonance spectrometry and leachate analyses.Results:Algal
                      biofilms contained high levels of orthophosphate with low
                      water solubility. P recovery by wheat was lower than from
                      TSP, as indicated by plant total dry matter and total P. In
                      algae-fertilized wheat, AMF reduced growth but not P uptake,
                      while S. vermifera in dual inoculation with AMF mitigated
                      the adverse effects. S. vermifera significantly increased
                      root growth and P content in roots when co-inoculated with
                      AMF.Conclusion:Polyculture algal biomass is an effective,
                      less leaching-prone organic P source for wheat. The
                      synergistic effect of S. vermifera as a root
                      growth-promoting fungus in its interaction with AMF shows
                      the potential and relevance of microbial involvement in
                      using algae-based fertilizers.},
