Evaluating the efficacy of cyanobacterial formulations and biofilmed inoculants for leguminous crops (2014, background): “…capacity has been related to different physiological activities – synthesis of phytohormones, such as cytokinins, gibberellins, and auxins or enhancement of factors affecting mineral nutrition, such as phosphorus solubilization or protection of plant against phytopathogens (Zahir et al. 2004).”
What drives study‐dependent differences in distance–decay relationships of microbial communities? (2021, background): “…disperse more effectively than previously thought, perhaps via association with other soil organisms (e.g., bacterial migration along fungal hyphae; Warmink et al., 2011), migratory species such as birds (Bisson et al., 2007), wind- blown soil particles (Favet et al., 2013) or bio- aerosols (Joung…”
Forest microbiome: diversity, complexity and dynamics. (2016, background): “In this respect, it should be noted that bacteria may use fungal hyphae or cords tomove through the environment (Kohlmeier et al. 2005; Warmink et al. 2011), and fungal networks thus likely promote habitat sharing by bacteria.”
Mechanisms and ecological implications of the movement of bacteria in soil (2018, background): “Here, one should take into account that also non-single-strain migrator bacteria may move along with the fungal hyphae, by a hitchhiking effect (Warmink et al., 2011).”
