  abstract = {{T}he hypothesis of the present study was that the termite mounds of {M}acrotermes subhyalinus ({MS}) (a litter-forager termite) were inhabited by a specific microflora that could enhance with the ectomycorrhizal fungal development. {W}e tested the effect of this feeding group mound material on (i) the ectomycorrhization symbiosis between {A}cacia holosericea (an {A}ustralian {A}cacia introduced in the sahelian areas) and two ectomycorrhizal fungal isolates of {S}cleroderma dictyosporum ({IR}408 and {IR}412) in greenhouse conditions, (ii) the functional diversity of soil microflora and (iii) the diversity of fluorescent pseudomonads. {T}he results showed that the termite mound amendment significantly increased the ectomycorrhizal expansion. {MS} mound amendment and ectomycorrhizal inoculation induced strong modifications of the soil functional microbial diversity by promoting the multiplication of carboxylic acid catabolizing microorganisms. {T}he phylogenetic analysis showed that fluorescent pseudomonads mostly belong to the {P}seudomonads monteillii species. {O}ne of these, {P}. monteillii isolate {KR}9, increased the ectomycorrhizal development between {S}. dictyosporum {IR}412 and {A}. holosericea. {T}he occurrence of {MS} termite mounds could be involved in the expansion of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis and could be implicated in nutrient flow and local diversity.},
