      the development of native species.

AB  - Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate soil biotrophs that establish 
      intimate relationships with 80 % of terrestrial plant families. Arbuscular 
      mycorrhizal fungi obtain carbon from host plants and contribute to the 
      acquisition of mineral nutrients, mainly phosphorus. The presence of invasive 
      plants has been identified as a soil disturbance factor, often conditioning the 
      structure and function of soil microorganisms. Despite the investigation of many 
      aspects related to the invasion ofAcacia dealbata, the effect produced on the 
      structure of AMF communities has never been assessed. We hypothesize thatA. 
      dealbatamodifies the structure of AMF community, influencing the establishment 
      and growth of plants that are dependent on these mutualisms. To validate our 
      hypothesis, we carried out denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) 
      analysis and also grew plants ofPlantago lanceolatain pots using roots of native 
      shrublands or fromA. dealbata, as inoculum of AMF. Cluster analyses from DGGE 
      indicated an alteration in the structure of AMF communities in invaded soils. 
      After 15 weeks, we found that plants grown in pots containing native roots 
      presented higher stem and root growth and also produced higher biomass in 
      comparison with plants grown withA. dealbatainoculum. Furthermore, plants that 
      presented the highest biomass and growth exhibited the maximum mycorrhizal 
      colonization and phosphorus content. Moreover, fluorescence measurements 
      indicated that plants grown withA. dealbatainoculum even presented higher 
      photosynthetic damage. Our results indicate that the presence of the invaderA. 
      dealbatamodify the composition of the arbuscular fungal community, conditioning 
      the establishment of native plants.
