Fungi play important roles in the cycling of elements in the
biosphere but are frequently neglected within microbiological and
geochemical research spheres. Symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi are
responsible for major transformations and redistribution of
inorganic nutrients, while free-living fungi have major roles in
the decomposition of organic materials, including xenobiotics.
Fungi are also major biodeterioration agents of stone, wood,
plaster, cement and other building materials, and are important
components of rock-inhabiting microbial communities. The aim of
this book is to promote further understanding of the key roles that
free-living and symbiotic fungi (in mycorrhizas and lichens) play
in the biogeochemical cycling of elements, the chemical and
biological mechanisms that are involved, and their environmental
and biotechnological significance. Where appropriate, relationships
with bacteria are also discussed to highlight the dynamic
interactions that can exist between these major microbial groups
and their integrated function in several kinds of habitat.
