AM fungal community in AgNPs treated soils

As a paramount reciprocal partner, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can alleviate the negative effects of a variety of pollutants on their hosts. However, the symbiotic functions of AM fungi depend on plant-fungus-soil combinations and are greatly influenced by environmental conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate influences of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on soil AM fungal community structure and function.
