Abstract

AbstractMycelial networks allow fungi to spread efficiently and traverse air-filled pores. By transporting nutrients from nutrient-rich and to nutrient-poor areas, they also promote bacterial growth and cometabolic degradation of contaminants. Mycelia likewise connect microhabitats and act as dispersal vectors (fungal highways) for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Co-transport with hyphal-riding bacteria allows phages to move in water-poor habitats and enhances the fitness of invading bacteria in host precolonised zones.
