Hey Marissa,

I added some more info about the carbon and nitrogen comparison under non-photosynthetic orchids. The sapotrophic fungi actual obtain more carbon than nitrogen because of the abundance of carbon that is found in the wood. I am going to keep looking for sources. I have reread a couple.

Here is another article that you can use under the Tulasulla species. It talks about how the fungi actually have transporters within the fungi for the transportation of ammonia, and amino acids. However, it does not have a nitrate assimilation system.

Hey Marissa,

Here is another source about the fungi divieristy of photosynthetic orchids. This is because they are not a specific and non-photosynthetic orchids

Here is an article of how the fungus helped and looked at movement of Phosphorous I do not know if it is relevant or not.

The location of the saprotroph is important because it allows the fungus to secrete the enzymes it need to break down the lignin in the wood (cite 1st one). The enzymes released form the fungus is what allows the fungus to obtain the nutrients of carbon and nitrogen for survival (Cite both).

Saprotrophic fungi are variable in the non-photosynthetic plants. Thus, it the diversity is often variable with interacting with the orchid species (cite 1st one).
