Physical bacterial-fungal interactions in agriculture

Bacteria	Fungi	Functions	Reference
Endobacteria
B. rhizoxinica	R. microsporus	Rhizoxin synthesized by B. rhizoxinica and B. rhizoxinica controls the growth of fungal spores	(Lackner et al. 2011)
Candidatus Glomeribacter gigasporarum	Mortierella	Candidatus Glomeribacter gigasporarum protects fungi from nematodes	(Buttner et al. 2021)
Mollicutes/Mycoplasma-related endosymbionts associated	Glomeromycotina, Mucoromycotina	Endobacteria impose some fitness costs to their fungal host	(Desiro et al. 2018)
Mycoavidus cysteinexigens	Mortierella elongata	M. cysteinexigens is a parasite of M. elongata	(Pawlowska et al. 2018)
Rhizobium radiobacter	Serendipita indica	Symbiosis promotes plant growth and improves systemic resistance	(Guo et al. 2017)
Attachment
B. subtilis	A. niger, A. bisporus	Extracellular polysaccharides, TasA and Spo0A of B. subtilis play an important role in bacterial attachment to fungi	(Kjeldgaard et al. 2019)
B. subtilis	Ceratocystis fimbriata	Enhanced spoVF operon increases attachment to fungi and biocontrol ability of B. subtilis	(Wang et al. 2021)
B. subtilis	A. nidulans	B. subtilis reaches the mycelial edge and provides thiamine to the growing hyphae	(Abeysinghe et al. 2020)
P. fluorescens, B. cereus, P. peoriae	Glomus sp. MUCL 43205, Glomus intraradices MUCL 43194	Fungal hyphae affect bacterial attachment	(Toljander et al. 2006)
P. fluorescens	Gigaspora margarita	P. fluorescens adhere to spores and hyphae of AM fungi germinated under sterile conditions	(Bianciotto et al., 1996b)
P. putida	Pythium ultimum	P. putida can migrate in the presence of fungi	(Furuno et al. 2010)
S. marcescens	Rhizopus oryzae	S. marcescens with defective pilus expression can migrate more quickly along fungi	(Hover et al. 2016)
S. proteamaculans	Mucor	S. proteamaculans disperses on fungal networks and can shape microbial community structure	(Zhang et al. 2018)
