Abstract in brief

  • Fungal hyphae, specifically from Coprinopsis cinerea, can create small anoxic (oxygen-free) zones around them in oxygen-rich environments like soil, enabling obligate anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium acetobutylicum to germinate, grow, and disperse.
  • The study used advanced imaging techniques to show that these anoxic niches persist around the hyphae, allowing anaerobic bacteria to survive and function even in largely oxygenated habitats, potentially helping fungi and bacteria interact more closely.
  • These findings suggest that aerobic fungi play an important role in forming and connecting oxygen-free microenvironments, which may influence how different bacteria coexist and organize in complex habitats like soil.]
