Popis: The impact of two strains of the tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) endophyte (Neotyphodium spp.), (E+) on the rhizoplane and rhizosphere soil micro-organisms was examined at two sites (Lincoln: endophytefree (E–) and the endophyte strain AR501; and Aorangi: E-, AR501 and a second strain, AR542). Rhizosphere and rhizoplane populations of bacteria and fungi, functional diversity, root fungi and soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen were measured. Most characteristics measured showed no differences between E+ and E– samples indicating that the presence of endophytes had no impact on non-target soil micro-organisms. At Aorangi, soil microbial biomass C and N were significantly greater (P
