Survival strategies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Cu-polluted environments (2009, unknown): “It has been proposed that glomalin has a primary function in the living hyphae, and that effects arising in the soil are secondary consequences ( Purin and Rillig 2007 ).”
Changes in soil aggregation and glomalin-related soil protein content as affected by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices (2009, unknown): “…2001; Rillig and Steinberg, 2002; Rillig et al., 2002; Lutgen et al., 2003; Rillig et al., 2003; Lovelock et al., 2004), demostrating that GRSP cannot be considered as a proxy of ERM fungal biomass and suggesting possible alternative roles for GRSP, as recently reported (Purin and Rillig, 2007).”
An AM fungus and a PGPR intensify the adverse effects of salinity on the stability of rhizosphere soil aggregates of Lactuca sativa (2010, background): “effects in the soil environment that lead to the observed correlations of glomalin with soil aggregate stability (Purin and Rillig, 2007).”
Phytoremediation of Metal-Polluted Soils by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2012, methodology): “However, for soil studies the glomalin is operationally defined by extraction and detection methods and known as glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP; Nichols, 2003; Purin and Rillig, 2007; Wright and Upadhyaya, 1996, 1998).”
