This project investigates how certain fungi and bacteria mobilize sulfur from organic compounds in the soil, which is essential for plant growth. The goal is to understand the role of mycorrhizal fungi in providing sulfur to plants, potentially leading to sustainable agricultural practices.
Sulfur is a macro-nutrient that is essential for growth and plants need 1-5mg sulfur per gram biomass.
However, most of the sulfur in soils is bound to organic molecules (organo-S) as sulfate esters and sulfonates.
While plants are almost entirely dependent on sulfate, many bacteria and fungi are capable to mobilize sulfur from sulfate esters, and specific bacterial guilds can utilize sulfonates as a sulfur source.Most plants receive nutrients not directly from the soil but largely through funga…
