Communities of soil microorganisms (soil microbiomes) play a major role in biogeochemical
cycles and support of plant growth. Here we focus primarily on the roles that the soil …

Fungi and bacteria coexist in a wide variety of natural and artificial environments which can
lead to their association and interaction–ranging from antagonism to cooperation–that can …

The extent of translocation of bacteria through soil strongly affects parameters of bacterially-
mediated bioremediation and biocontrol. Here, we discuss the main strategies that bacteria …

Fungi serve as a biological scaffold for bacterial attachment. In some specialized
interactions, the bacteria will invade the fungal host, which in turn provides protection and …

Persistent heavy metal (HM) contaminated soil provides special habitat for microorganisms,
HM stress and complex abiotic factors bring great uncertainty for the development of …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal structures, such as spores, vesicles, extra-and intra-
radical hyphae, are home to diverse communities of prokaryotic (bacterial and archaeal) …

Movement ecology aims to provide common terminology and an integrative framework of
movement research across all groups of organisms. Yet such work has focused on unitary …

Introduction The composition and structure of natural soil are very complex, leading to the
difficult contact between hydrophobic organic compounds and degrading-bacteria in …

Microbial activity in soil, including horizontal gene transfer (HGT), occurs in soil hot spots
and at “hot moments”. Given their capacities to explore soil for nutrients, soil fungi …

Creating unique microenvironments, hyphal surfaces and their surroundings allow for
spatially distinct microbial interactions and functions at the microscale. Using a microfluidic …
