Role of Fungi in the Biomineralization of Calcite (2016, background): “These processes are crucial, for instance, for nutrient bioavailability in the biosphere but can also lead to the release of toxic compounds in the environment [32,47].”

Functions and toxicity of nickel in plants: recent advances and future prospects. (2009, background): “Organic acids, such as citric andmalic acids, provide both a source of protons for solubilization and anions for Ni chelation [80–82].”
The Potential of Rhizosphere Microorganisms to Promote the Plant Growth in Disturbed Soils (2012, background): “Especially ectomycorrhizal fungi can promote the establishment of plant species at heavy metal contaminated sites by immobilizing heavy metals in the soil, thereby reducing the availability of metals to plants (Chanmugathas and Bollag 1987; Fomina et al. 2005).”
Rhizosphere processes and management in plant-assisted bioremediation (phytoremediation) of soils (2009, background): “Protoninduced solubilisation of metals has been demonstrated for numerous microorganisms including ericoid mycorrhizal and ectomycorrhizal fungi (Fomina et al. 2005, Martino et al. 2003) Microbially mediated reduction and oxidation processes can also modify the solubility of metals and metalloids.”
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).”
Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation. (2010, unknown): “Potentially toxic metals released from minerals as a result of physico-chemical and biological processes may also affect microbial communities (Fomina et al., 2005c; Gadd, 2005).”
Geomicrobiology of Eukaryotic Microorganisms (2010, background): “essential metals and phosphate, as well as carbon flow, while free-living fungi have major roles in decomposition of organic materials, including xenobiotics, as well as mineral and metal transformations ( Fomina et al. 2005a , 2005b , 2005c ; Gadd 2007 , 2008a , 2008b ).”
Microbial Zinc Solubilization and Their Role on Plants (2011, background): “Furthermore, their ability to grow and tolerate the presence of metals supplemented to the media enhanced solubilization ( Fomina et al. 2005a ).”
Oxalate production by fungi: significance in geomycology, biodeterioration and bioremediation (2014, background): “Beauveria spp. have been well described in their ability to overproduce oxalate, especially in the presence of toxic metals such as Cu (Fomina et al., 2005a).”
How metal-tolerant ecotypes of ectomycorrhizal fungi protect plants from heavy metal pollution (2011, background): “Since mycorrhizal fungi are usually involved in phosphorus and trace element mobilisation under nutrient limiting conditions, they often exude significant quantities of organic acids and protons (Arvieu et al. 2003; Fomina et al. 2005; Johansson et al. 2008).”
Perspectives of plant-associated microbes in heavy metal phytoremediation. (2012, background): “Although many plant-associated microbes have the ability to produce organic acids and to mobilize essential and toxic ions (Martino et al. 2003; Fomina et al., 2005; AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T Uroz et al., 2009), an important question that has yet to be adequately resolved is whether they act as…”
