Abstract

Fungal mycelia have been shown to serve as efficient dispersal networks for a wide range of bacteria thereby enabling their access to otherwise unattainable habitats. Likewise they actively promote the conveyance of soil contaminants beyond their purely diffusive transport. Conceptually, both processes improve the bioavailability of contaminants to bacteria and are of ecological and biotechnological relevance for improving the ecosystem service of contaminant biodegradation.
