The effects of potentially toxic metals on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and their higher plant
hosts are examined in this review. Investigations at a species and community level have …

High concentrations of heavy metals in soil have an adverse effect on micro-organisms and
microbial processes. Among soil microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi are the only ones …

Penicillium, Fusarium, Alternaria and Geotrichum. They were screened for their resistance to
heavy metals. The results revealed that the majority of the isolates were resistant to Pb, Cr …

Thirty-nine ectomycorrhizal isolates of Paxillus involutus, Pisolithus tinctorius, Suillus
bovinus, S. luteus and S. variegatus were tested on cadmium, copper, nickel and zinc …

Six strains of ectomycorrhizal fungi were compared for their ability to increase zinc tolerance
in Pinus sylvestris L. seedlings. Pioneer and 'late-stage'fungi as well as one strain collected …

Natural populations thriving in heavy-metal-contaminated ecosystems are often subjected to
selective pressures for increased resistance to toxic metals. In the present study we describe …

Arsenic (As) contamination of irrigation water represents a major constraint to Bangladesh
agriculture. While arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have their most significant effect on P …

The toxicity of a sublethal cadmium concentration to ectomycorrhizal Pinus sylvestris L.
seedlings was studied. Nine mycorrhizal strains, collected from a Zn‐and Cd‐polluted soil or …

The intraspecific variability in growth response to cadmium (Cd) on agar media and in liquid
culture was studied among fourteen strains of a wood-rotting fungus Piptoporus betulinus …

Three ectomycorrhizal (ECM) isolates of Rhizopogon luteolus, R. roseolus and Scleroderma
citrinum were found to differ markedly in their in vitro tolerance to adverse conditions limiting …
