Abstract
|
|
|
|
The presence of fungi in ecosystem had a great impact on the evolution of bacteria. The decomposition niches have been lost for the bacteria and fungi has created the new bacterial niches. From the investigation of interaction of fungi and bacteria, the influence of fungi on bacteria was elucidated. The inability of the bacteria to bridge air-filled voids limits bacterial motility in soils. This disadvantage is overcome by mycelial growth. The study of fungal-bacterial interactions in soils is not only interesting from a basic point of view but has yielded findings of social and economical relevance. Fungi that are harmful to bacteria may potentially form a source of new antibiotics.
