One major challenge for the twenty-first century will be the production of sufficient food for
the global human population. The negative impacts on soil–plant–microbes–environmental …

Abstract Tissues of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) contain several endophytic
microorganisms of which Methylobacterium extorquens DSM13060 is a dominant species …

Complex interactions between mycorrhizal helper bacteria (MHBs) and mycorrhizal fungi
have rarely been studied in the context of drought. Separately, both MHB inoculation and …

The effects of biological factors on the vegetative growth process of mushrooms remain
largely unexplored. We investigated the bacterial community in different growth stages of …

Mycorrhizal helper bacteria (MHB) play an important role in mediating mycorrhizal
symbiosis, which improves the growth and nutrient uptake of plants. This study examined the …

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of phosphorus (P) application and
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Funneliformis mosseae) on growth, foliar nitrogen …

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMFs) form symbioses with plant roots to promote nutrient uptake by
plants but it is controversial as to whether they induce disease resistance in plants. Here, we …

Understanding the effects of heavy metal contamination on microbial activity is important for
developing strategies to reclaim sites disturbed by industrial activities. In this study, we …
