Advancements in chemical, medical, cosmetic, and plastic producing industries have
improved agricultural yields, health and human life in general. As a negative consequence …

The extraradical hyphae-associated microbiome of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), the
“hyphosphere microbiome,” harbors a diverse reservoir of microbes. The biological …

By ecologically interacting with various biotic and abiotic agents acting in soil ecosystems,
highly diverse soil microorganisms establish complex and stable assemblages and survive …

Anthropogenic nitrogen inputs lead to a high ammonium (NH4+)/nitrate (NO3−) ratio in the
soil, which restricts hyphal spreading of soil fungi. Access of symbiotic fungi to roots is a …

Nonmotile microorganisms often enter new habitats by co-transport with motile
microorganisms. Here, we report that also lytic phages can co-transport with hyphal-riding …

Potato production worldwide is plagued by several disease-causing pathogens that result in
crop and economic losses estimated to billions of dollars each year. To this day, synthetic …

Soil contamination constitutes a significant threat to the health of soil ecosystems in terms of
complexity, toxicity, and recalcitrance. Among all contaminants, aliphatic petroleum …

Diverse and complex microbiomes are found in virtually every environment on Earth.
Bacteria and fungi often co-dominate environmental microbiomes, and there is growing …

Microbial communities, and their ecological importance, have been investigated in several
habitats. However, so far, most studies could not describe the closest microbial interactions …

Fungi represents a rich repository of taxonomically restricted, yet chemically diverse,
secondary metabolites that are synthesised via specific metabolic pathways. An enzyme's …
