Rhizosphere processes and management in plant-assisted bioremediation (phytoremediation) of soils (2009, background): “Ectomycorrhizal associations can display considerable resistance against toxicity in soil polluted with metals (Leyval et al. 1997; Meharg and Cairney 2000) and organic compounds such as m-toluate (Sarand et al. 1999), petroleum (Sarand et al. 1998), or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Leyval and…”
Untapped potential: exploiting fungi in bioremediation of hazardous chemicals (2011, background): “ECM involve about 10,000 fungal and 8,000 plant specie”
Biodegradation ability and dioxgenase genes of PAH-degrading Sphingomonas and Mycobacterium strains isolated from mangrove sediments. (2010, background): “Mangrove wetlands harbor a diverse group of microorganisms in the sediments inwhich aromatic degrading bacteria are reported to be at high levels (Macek et al., 2000; Meharg and Cairney, 2000; Ramsay et al., 2000).”
Phytoremediation in Wetland Ecosystems: Progress, Problems, and Potential (2002, background): “The expansive rhizosphere of wetland herbaceous shrub and tree species provides an enriched culture zone for microbes involved in degradation (Olsen and Lorah, 1998; Macek et al., 2000; Meharg and Cairney, 2000).”
Controls over mycorrhizal uptake of organic nitrogen (2010, background): “…of abundant polymeric ON like chitin (Bajwa and Read, 1986; Leake and Read, 1990a; Hodge et al., 1995; Chalot and Brun, 1998; Chen et al., 1999), and some produce oxidative enzymes that can catalyze the decomposition of more recalcitrant compounds such as aromatic-N (Meharg and Cairney, 2000).”
New Approaches for Bioaugmentation as a Remediation Technology (2004, background): “Meharg and Cairney 138 reported that 33 out of 42 tested species of ectomycorrhizas (ECM) degraded one or more types of chemicals.”
