Abstract The ability of the ectomycorrhizal fungusPaxillus involutus (Batsch. ex Fr.) Fr. to utilize bicarbonate ions from solution, for oxalate synthesis was demonstrated using NaH14CO3 in a nitrate-nitrogen medium. Fifteen percent of the carbonate ions incorporated was used for the synthesis of oxalic acid either directly from oxalacetate, or via citrate, isocitrate, and glyoxylate.
