• How metal-tolerant ecotypes of ectomycorrhizal fungi protect plants from heavy metal pollution (2011, background): “These Zn-tolerant ecotypes showed little ability to solubilise Zn from both ZnO and Zn3(PO4)2, whereas strains from unpolluted soils showed a higher solubilisation potential (Martino et al. 2003).”
• Zinc Phosphate and Pyromorphite Solubilization by Soil Plant-Symbiotic Fungi (2004, background): “Succinic acid production by ericoid mycorrhizal fungi was previously confirmed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (Martino et al., 2003).”
• 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…”
• Reviews and syntheses: Biological weathering and its consequences at different spatial levels – from nanoscale to global scale (2020, background): “Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi can produce copious amounts of LMW organic acids that solubilise inorganic zinc compounds (Martino et al., 2003), but there are so far no systematic studies of their role in different weathering interactions in comparison to other fungi.”
• Metal mobilization and production of short-chain organic acids by rhizosphere bacteria associated with a Cd/Zn hyperaccumulating plant, Sedum alfredii (2009, background): “A different ability to mobilize metals in soils may be a strategy to maintain metal homeostasis either rich or poor in available metal ions (Martino et al. 2003).”
• Geomycology: biogeochemical transformations of rocks, minerals, metals and radionuclides by fungi, bioweathering and bioremediation. (2007, unknown): “During their growth, mycorrhizal fungi often excrete low molecular weight carboxylic acids (e.g. malic, succinic, gluconic, oxalic) (Ahonen-Jonnarth et al. 2000; Martino et al. 2003; Fomina et al. 2004).”
• The role of fungi in weathering (2004, unknown): “are tolerant to heavy metals (Martino et al. 2003).”
• Rock-eating mycorrhizas: their role in plant nutrition and biogeochemical cycles (2008, background): “2004), are effective producers of LMWOA (Martino et al. 2003).”
• Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation. (2010, unknown): “The ectomycorrhizal fungi Suillus granulatus and Pisolithus tinctorius can promote the release of cadmium and phosphorus from rock phosphate (Leyval & Joner, 2001) while the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Oidiodendron maius can solubilize zinc oxide and phosphate (Martino et al., 2003).”
• Geomicrobiology of Eukaryotic Microorganisms (2010, background): “, amino acids, phenolic compounds, and organic acids may also be involved (Martino et al. 2003).”
• Phytoremediation of Metal-Polluted Soils by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (2012, result): “In this respect several studies have shown that ectomycorrhizal and ericoid mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in the phytoremediation of metal-polluted sites (Agerer, 2001; Gadd, 1993; Martino et al., 2003).”
• Microbial Zinc Solubilization and Their Role on Plants (2011, background): “These mycorrhizae therefore have a dual mechanism for surviving in both environments (Martino et al. 2003).”
• 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.”
