Ectomycorrhizal fungi live in close association with their host plants and form complex
interactions with bacterial/archaeal communities in soil. We investigated whether abundant …

Plant-soil interactions affect plant health, productivity and vegetation structure. Although
recent advances in sequencing and computational tools have facilitated research on these …

Symbiotic ectomycorrhizal tree roots represent an important niche for interaction with
bacteria since the fungi colonizing them have a large surface area and receive a direct …

Roots take on several key functions for trees such as anchoring, storing of nutrients and
foraging for water and inorganic nutrients. This last part is actually mainly assumed by …

Boreal forest podzol soils have vertically stratified horizons with different physicochemical
characteristics and high microbial diversity. Ectomycorrhizal fungi play key roles in …

Ectomycorrhizae create a multitrophic ecosystem formed by the association between tree
roots, mycelium of the ectomycorrhizal fungus, and a complex microbiome. Despite their …

Bacteria have been observed to grow with fungi, and those that associate with
ectomycorrhizal fungi have often been thought of as symbionts that may either increase or …

Terrestrial plants host phylogenetically and functionally diverse groups of below-ground
microbes, whose community structure controls plant growth/survival in both natural and …

Extensive knowledge of various ectomycorrhizal fungal communities has been obtained
over the past 10 years based on molecular identification of the fungi colonizing fine roots. In …

Several eukaryotic symbioses have shown to host a rich diversity of prokaryotes that interact
with their hosts. Here, we study bacterial communities associated with ectomycorrhizal root …
