of hyphae by candida albicans.

of hyphae, he explains.

of various organic compounds such as glomalin or by the action
of fungal
hyphae (Sylvia et al., 2005).
The fungi live in plant roots where they elongate their tendrils (called
hypha) into the surrounding soil, like an extension
of the root system, to better access and transfer nutrients to the plant.

When colonising a plant, the beneficial fungus blooms within individual plant cells, growing thin tendrils called
hyphae that extend into surrounding soil and pump minerals and nutrients straight into the heart

Seed fill in seeds stored in the sediment seed bank at CLG declined from 100 % (prior to burial) rapidly to c. 20 % after 6 months (Fig. 4), with high levels
of fungal attack (abundant
hyphae were observed) resulting in many seeds rotting during burial.
