Effect of Dark Septate Endophytic Fungus Gaeumannomyces cylindrosporus on Plant Growth, Photosynthesis and Pb Tolerance of Maize (Zea mays L.) (2017, background): “Therefore, it has high capacities for metal biosorption, with the majority of metal remaining within the wall structure (Gadd, 2007; Li et al., 2012).”
Heavy Metals: Biological Importance and Detoxification Strategies (2016, background): “The exposure of excess levels of metals to plants inhibits physiologically active enzymes [137], inactivates photosystems [138], and destruct mineral metabolism [139].”
Copper compartmentalization in spores as a survival strategy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Cu-polluted environments (2013, background): “These data altogether indicate that in AMF, like in all organisms that operate an intracellular compartmentalization strategy to detoxify pollutants (Gadd, 2007), the excess Cu is translocated to subcellular compartments where it can be stored away from the cytosol and to specific fungal structures ”
Role of Fungi in the Biomineralization of Calcite (2016, background): “Indeed, in terms of diversity of metabolic processes associated to elemental cycling, they have a profound influence on biogeochemical cycles of both organic and inorganic components of the Earth system [25,43,49,59].”
Efficacy of Biofertilizers: Challenges to Improve Crop Production (2016, background): “This is the case of calcite or metal oxalates precipitation, which would also infl uence the availability of phosphates for plants that have been widely documented as coupled to fungal growth in nearsurface limestones (calcretes), calcic and petrocalcic horizons in soils (Gadd 2007 ).”
Weathering and Deterioration (2011, background): “Loosened stone particles accumulate within the lower thallus layer but get lost completely upon removal of the lichen from the surface (Gadd 2007).”
Recent Advances in Microbial Metal Bioaccumulation (2013, background): “Fungi have developed a complex defence system to counteract cell toxicities by heavy metal (Gadd, 2007).”
Microbial Interaction with Clay Minerals and Its Environmental and Biotechnological Implications (2020, background): “For several bacteria, dissolution of silicates was reported to result from the complexation of cationic components by 2-ketogluconate [111].”
Rock-eating mycorrhizas: their role in plant nutrition and biogeochemical cycles (2008, background): “We do not intend to review the field of mineral weathering by fungi, because several important reviews have appeared in the last few years (Hoffland et al. 2004; Wallander and Hagerberg 2004; Smits 2006; Wallander 2006; Gadd 2007; Gorbushina 2007).”
Fungi in lake ecosystems (2010, background): “The appearance of fungi in biofilms is also supported by considerations on biogenic mineral transformations (Gall et al. 1994, Gadd 2007).”
Beneficial fungal communities from different habitats and their roles in plant growth promotion and soil health (2020, background): “The zinc solubilizing ability has been observed in ericoid mycorrhizae including Suillus bovines, Suillus luteus, Paxillus involutus, Oidiodendron maius, Hymenoscyphus ericae, and Beauveria caledonica (Fomina et al. 2005; Gadd 2007; Van Schöll et al. 2006).”
Survival strategies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in Cu-polluted environments (2009, positive): “As stated by Gadd (2007), loss of apical dominance or negative tropisms as well as growth cessation can be viewed as a ‘‘retreat’’ strategy aimed at avoiding toxic-metal contaminated areas.”
Copper Metallurgical Slags – Current Knowledge and Fate: A Review (2015, background): “Microorganisms may attach to the solid surface as biofilm or microcolony and use the mineral surfaces as a source of nutrients (Gadd, 2007; Braud et al., 2009; Uroz et al., 2009; Flemming, 2011; Konhauser et al., 2011; Southam, 2012).”
Distribution of iron, cobalt, zinc and selenium in macrofungi (2007, background): “Fungi have important biogeochemical roles in the biosphere and are intimately involved in the cycling of elements and transformations of both organic and inorganic substrates (Gadd 2007).”
