Oxalate production by fungi: significance in geomycology, biodeterioration and bioremediation (2014, background): “…such cultural heritage as monuments, statues, rock paintings, friezes and frescoes (Gadd, 1999; Warscheid and Braams, 2000; Lisci et al., 2003; Adeyemi and Gadd, 2005; Sverdrup, 2009; Rosling et al., 2009; Bonneville et al., 2009, 2011; Cutler and Viles, 2010; Wei et al., 2011; Smits et al., 2012).”
Cellular dissolution at hypha- and spore-mineral interfaces revealing unrecognized mechanisms and scales of fungal weathering (2016, background): “Ultramicroscopic analysis of fungus Paxillus–biotite interfaces suggested that such forces can cause physical distortion of the mineral lattice prior to the onset of chemical alteration (Bonneville et al., 2009).”
Reviews and syntheses: Biological weathering and its consequences at different spatial levels – from nanoscale to global scale (2020, background): “Ultramicroscopic and spectroscopic observations of fungus–biotite interfaces during weathering of biotite flakes have revealed biomechanical forcing and altered interlayer spacing associated with depletion of K by an ectomycorrhizal fungus (Paxillus involutus; Bonneville et al., 2009).”
