Amanita muscaria is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom that commonly grows at metal-polluted
sites. Sporocarps from the lead smelter-polluted area near Příbram (Central Bohemia …

Mechanisms evolved in eukaryotes to handle heavy metals involve cytosolic, metal-binding
metallothioneins (MTs). We have previously documented that the sequestration of silver (Ag) …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are cysteine‐rich peptides involved in heavy metal tolerance of many
eukaryotes. Here, we examined their involvement in intracellular binding of silver (Ag) in the …

A full-length cDNA encoding a metallothionein (MT)-like polypeptide, designated GmarMT1,
was identified in an expressed sequence tag collection from germinated spores of the …

Abstract Amanita strobiliformis (European Pine Cone Lepidella) is an ectomycorrhizal
fungus of the Amanitaceae family known to hyperaccumulate Ag in the sporocarps. Two …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are able to tolerate a wide range of metal concentrations in
soils. A number of passive and active molecular processes are employed by these fungi to …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are small, cysteine‐rich peptides involved in intracellular
sequestration of heavy metals in eukaryotes. We examined the role in metal homeostasis …

This review focuses on recent evidence that identifies potential extracellular and cellular
mechanisms that may be involved in the tolerance of ectomycorrhizal fungi to excess metals …

Metallothioneins are small polypeptides involved in metal tolerance of many eukaryotes.
Here we characterized the Pimt1 gene, coding for a metallothionein from the …

Macrofungi can accumulate in their sporocarps remarkably high concentrations of Cu and
Ag. We have previously demonstrated that the non-essential Ag is in the ectomycorrhizal, Ag …
