Over the last years role of fungal endophytes in plant biology has been extensively studied. A number species were shown to positively affect growth and fitness, thus attempts have made utilize these microorganisms agriculture phytoremediation. Plant-fungi symbiosis requires multiple metabolic adjustments both interacting organisms. The mechanisms adaptations are mostly unknown, however, hormones seem play a central this process. hormone strigolactone (SL) was previously activate hyphae...
The role of endophytic fungi isolated from different populations European Ni hyperaccumulators was investigated in regard to the microorganisms' ability enhance hyperaccumulation Noccaea caerulescens. Effects particular species on adaptation N. caerulescens excess were tested by co-cultivation with single strains fungi. Seven these had a positive effect plant biomass production, whereas two inhibited growth; production inoculated plants significantly compared non-inoculated control....
The aim of this study was to assess the biodiversity endophytic fungi from Arabidopsis arenosa growing on a post mining waste dump and evaluate their role in plant adaptation metal toxicity. Severeal were beneficial for plant. Among them, fungus belonging Mucor genus, found interact with broad range plants, including Brassicaceae metallophytes. sp. shown be highly tolerant elevated levels Zn, Cd, Pb accelerate plant‐host growth under either toxic‐metal stress or control conditions. When...
The role of an endophytic Zygomycete Mucor sp. in growth promotion and adaptation the photosynthetic apparatus to increased energy demands its hosts Arabidopsis arenosa thaliana was evaluated. Inoculation with fungus improved water use efficiency plants allowed for them utilize incident light photochemistry more effectively by upregulating expression several photosystem I- II-related genes their respective proteins, proteins involved harvesting PSII PSI carbon assimilation. This effect...
Toxic metal pollution requires significant adjustments in plant metabolism. Here, we show that the microbiota plays an important role this process. The endophytic Sporobolomyces ruberrimus isolated from a serpentine population of Arabidopsis arenosa protected plants against excess metals. Coculture with its native host and thaliana inhibited Fe Ni uptake. It had no effect on Zn Cd uptake inhibition was confirmed wheat rape. Our investigations that, for inhibitory effect, interference...
The endophytic Basidiomycete Sporobolomyces ruberrimus protects its host Arabidopsis arenosa against metal toxicity. Plants inoculated with the fungus yielded more biomass and exhibited significantly fewer stress symptoms in medium mimicking mine dump conditions (medium supplemented excess of Fe, Zn Cd). Aside from fine-tuning plant homeostasis, was capable precipitating Fe medium, most likely limiting exposure to precipitated residue identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...
The unfavorable phenomenon of activated sludge bulking that occurs in sewage treatment plants (WWTPs) is caused by the over-proliferation filamentous bacteria should be limited Lecane rotifers feed on them; however, predatory, rotiferovorous fungi often inhabit WWTPs pose a real threat to these organisms. To solve this problem, we investigated interaction fungus Clonostachys rosea, which known Biological Control Agent (BCA) and predacious Zoophagus sp. simplified laboratory culture...
Microorganisms play a key role in plant adaptation to the environment. The aim of this study was evaluate effect toxic metals present soil on biodiversity plant-related, endophytic mycobiota. mycobiome plants and from Zn-Pb heap metal-free ruderal area were compared via Illumina sequencing ITS1 rDNA. fungi inhabiting mine dump substrate lower than that metal free site. In endosphere Arabidopsis arenosa number fungal taxa comparable reference population, but community structure significantly...
To improve the efficiency of Ni phytoextraction, metal hyperaccumulator N. goesingensis was subject to treatment with a combination uptake stimulating microorganism and commercially available, IAA- based biostimulating seaweed extract - Kelpak. Additionally, we compared plant growth promoting capabilities two biofertilizers. Treatment Kelpak alone had no significant effect on or accumulation. Inoculation Phomopsis columnaris significantly improved biomass hyperaccumulating yield per several...

Abstract Intensive crop production leads to the disruption of symbiosis between plants and their associated microorganisms, resulting in suboptimal plant productivity lower yield quality. Therefore, it is necessary improve existing methods explore modern, environmentally friendly approaches production. One these biotization, which involves inoculation with appropriately selected symbiotic microorganisms play a beneficial role adaptation environment. In this study, we tested possibility using...
