Concern about soil contamination by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that originate from
intensive anthropogenic activities has now become a priority in industrialized countries …

Metal mining generates a considerable amount of tailings. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(AMF) have potential value for the ecological remediation of tailings from metal mining …

Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), a widespread glycoprotein produced by arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), is crucial for ecosystem functioning and ecological restoration. In …

Spore counts, species composition and richness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and soil
glomalin contents were evaluated in a soil contaminated with Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb after …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) associations are integral, functioning parts of plant roots
and are widely recognized as enhancing plant growth on severely disturbed sites, including …

Mining activities have environmental impacts. The rupture of the Fundão tailing dam ejected
a significant volume of iron ore mining waste (IOMW) and was characterized as the greatest …

Phytoremediation is a promising option for reclaiming soils contaminated with toxic metals,
using plants with high potentials for extraction, stabilization and hyperaccumulation. This …

Metal tolerance of filamentous fungi is a poorly understood mechanism. In order to unravel
the molecular basis of zinc (Zn) tolerance in the ectomycorrhizal fungal model Hebeloma …

Response of plant performance and root properties to heterogeneous distribution of crude
oil pollutants and mycorrhizal colonization is poorly understood even though (high) …

The potential of interactions between saprophytic and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi to
improve Eucalyptus globulus grown in soil contaminated with Zn were investigated. The …
