Isolation and characterization of a novel silicate-solubilizing bacterial strain Burkholderia eburnea CS4-2 that promotes growth of japonica rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Dongjin) (2017, background): “The bioweathering process assumes a basic role in the extraction of supplements from rocks, (Burford et al. 2003; Li et al. 2006).”
Efficacy of Biofertilizers: Challenges to Improve Crop Production (2016, background): “For example, fertile soil may contain a fungal network up to 10,000 km/m 2 (Burford et al. 2003 ).”
Isolation of Paenibacillus sp. and Assessment of its Potential for Enhancing Mineral Weathering (2012, background): “Bioweathering as a common geochemical process is the erosion, decay and decomposition of rocks and minerals mediated by living organisms (Burford et al. 2003; Gadd 2007).”
Geomycology: biogeochemical transformations of rocks, minerals, metals and radionuclides by fungi, bioweathering and bioremediation. (2007, positive): “Since that time fungi have been ubiquitous components of the microbial communities of any terrestrial environment (Hawksworth 2001), including such hostile habitats as the arctic and Antarctic, hot deserts, and metal-rich and hypersaline soils (Burford et al. 2003a).”
Mycotransformation of organic and inorganic substrates (2004, positive): “Fungi are also major biodeterioration agents of stone, wood, plaster, cement and other building materials, and it is now realised that they are important components of rock-inhabiting microbial communities with significant roles in mineral dissolution and secondary mineral formation (Burford et al.,”
Microbial Interaction with Clay Minerals and Its Environmental and Biotechnological Implications (2020, background): “5% w/v) to the liquid medium seemed to create more favourable conditions for greater biomass yield under the deficiency of mineral nutrients, including the most important for active growth sources, nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as the essential metal potassium [24,196,206].”
Role of Fungi in the Biomineralization of Calcite (2016, background): “Indeed, in terms of diversity of metabolic processes associated to elemental cycling, they have a profound influence on biogeochemical cycles of both organic and inorganic components of the Earth system [25,43,49,59].”
Oxalate production by fungi: significance in geomycology, biodeterioration and bioremediation (2014, background): “Mycogenic oxalates are one important example of fungal biomineral formation (see Burford et al., 2003a,b; Gadd, 2007, 2010; Gadd and Fomina, 2011; Gadd et al., 2012 for other mycominerals).”
Zinc Phosphate and Pyromorphite Solubilization by Soil Plant-Symbiotic Fungi (2004, background): “, oxalates, sulphides, phosphates or carbonates (Sayer and Gadd 1997; Gharieb, Sayer, and Gadd 1998; Gadd 1993, 2000, 2001; Burford et al. 2003).”
Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation. (2010, positive): “Microbe–clay mineral interactions are therefore important in soil evolution, as well as aggregation and stabilization (Burford et al., 2003a; Tazaki, 2006; Theng & Yuan, 2008).”
