A Mineral-Doped Micromodel Platform Demonstrates Fungal Bridging of Carbon Hot Spots and Hyphal Transport of Mineral-Derived Nutrients by Arunima Bhattacharjee, Odeta Qafoku, Jocelyn A. Richardson, Lindsey N. Anderson, Kaitlyn Schwarz, Lisa M. Bramer, Gerard X. Lomas, Daniel J. Orton, Zihua Zhu, Mark H. Engelhard, Mark E. Bowden, William C. Nelson, Ari Jumpponen, Janet K. Jansson, Kirsten S. Hofmockel, Christopher R. Anderton

“…We demonstrate the function of this platform by directly probing fungal growth using spatially resolved optical and chemical imaging methodologies. We found the presence of minerals was required for fungal thigmotropism around obstacles and through soil-like pore spaces, and this was related to fungal transport of potassium (K) and corresponding K speciation from K-rich minerals. …”
