Geomycology: biogeochemical transformations of rocks, minerals, metals and radionuclides by fungi, bioweathering and bioremediation
TL;DR: This article seeks to emphasize the fundamental importance of fungi in several key areas including organic and inorganic transformations and element cycling, rock and mineral transformations, bioweathering, mycogenic mineral formation, fungal-clay interactions, metal-fungal interactions, and the significance of such processes in the environment and their relevance to areas of environmental biotechnology such as bioremediation.

Markus Kleber,Karin Eusterhues,Marco Keiluweit,Christian Mikutta,Robert Mikutta,Peter S. Nico +5 more
TL;DR: An overview of the current knowledge on mineral-organic associations can be found in this article, where the authors identify key questions and future research needs, as well as a survey of the existing research work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical weathering ,a tmospheric co 2 , and climate
TL;DR: There has been considerable controversy concerning the role of chemical weathering in the regulation of the atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and thus the strength of the greenhouse effect and global climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineral weathering by bacteria: ecology, actors and mechanisms.
TL;DR: The ecological relevance of bacterial weathering, mainly in the soil and especially in acidic forest ecosystems, which strongly depend on mineral weathering for their sustainability are discussed and the potential applications of genomic resources to the study ofacterial weathering are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life on the rocks.
TL;DR: Subaerial biofilm metabolic activity centres on retention of water, protecting the cells from fluctuating environmental conditions and solar radiation as well as prolonging their vegetative life, which manifests itself as bio-weathering of rock surfaces.
