Mycelium-mediated transfer of water and nutrients stimulates bacterial activity in dry and oligotrophic environments

The maintenance of bacterial and fungal activity is essential for ecosystem functioning, particularly in dry soils where the two phyla co-exist. Here, Worrich and colleagues show experimentally that mycelia traffic water and nutrients and thereby stimulate bacterial activity in stressful conditions.
