Disentangling the impact of AM fungi versus roots on soil structure and water transport (2008, background): “GRSP is argued to be a hydrophobin (Rillig, 2005) that both binds soil particles and alters wetting behaviour.”
The interplay between microbial communities and soil properties (2023, unknown): “Likewise, fungi can produce compounds coating soil particle surfaces, which alter the magnitude and direction of soil water repellency 76 .”
Microplastics as an emerging threat to terrestrial ecosystems (2018, background): “For instance, hydrophobins are amphiphilic proteins ubiquitous in soils that are secreted by fungi (Rillig, 2005).”
Mycelium of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increases soil water repellency and is sufficient to maintain water-stable soil aggregates (2010, background): “Rillig et al. / Soil Biology & Biochemistry 42 (2010) 1189e1191 1190”
