Nearly all microbes, including fungi, grow firmly attached to surfaces as a biofilm. Yet,
attention toward fungal interactions with plants and the environment is dedicated to free …

The global food supply has been facing increasing challenges during the first decades of the
21 st century. Disease in plants is an important constraint to worldwide crop production …

Bacterial biofilm formation on fungi participates in the synergistic degradation of substrates,
antagonism of fungal growth, bacterial utilization of fungi as nutrient sources, and the …

Nearly all microbes, including fungal pathogens, form biofilms, which are structured
communities of microbial aggregates enclosed in self-produced extracellular polymeric …

▪ Abstract Bacteria associated with plants have been observed frequently to form
assemblages referred to as aggregates, microcolonies, symplasmata, or biofilms on leaves …

Fungi interact with plants in various ways, with each interaction giving rise to different
alterations in both partners. While fungal pathogens have detrimental effects on plant …

In ecology, many studies support the notion that community strength positively correlates
with diversity. A diverse community has a reservoir of varying genotypes and phenotypes …
