Background and aims Mycorrhizal fungi-released phosphatases have long been claimed
pivotal to mobilize soil organic phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that ectomycorrhizal …

Phosphorus (P), an essential nutrient for growth and development of plants, participates in
most biolo-gical metabolic processes in plants. However, soil P availability is low due to …

The mycorrhizal pathway is an important phosphorus (P) uptake pathway for more than two‐
thirds of land plants. The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi‐associated hyphosphere …

The extraradical hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are colonized by different
bacteria in natural and agricultural systems, but the mechanisms by which AM fungi interact …

Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi can acquire phosphorus (P) through the production of
extracellular hydrolytic enzymes (exoenzymes), but it is unclear as to the manner and extent …

The increased soil organic phosphorus (P) mineralization observed under trees compared
to pasture has been attributed to the contrasting mycorrhizal associations of the two systems …

Interactions between bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a significant role
in mediating organic phosphorus (P) transformations and turnover in soil. The bacterial …

Phosphorus (P) is essential for plant growth and productivity. It is one of the most limiting
macronutrients in soil because it is mainly present as unavailable, bound P whereas plants …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi play an irreplaceable role in phosphorus cycling. However,
ectomycorrhizal fungi have a limited ability to dissolve chelated inorganic phosphorus …

Trees are dependent on the activity of soil microorganisms, including mutualistic
ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi and soil-dwelling bacteria, for access to phosphorus (P). While …
