Research interest
Despite the growing research interest in bacterial-fungal interaction, however, there is still a paucity of information to what extent bacteria can help fungi in terms of nutrient availability and the clear underlying metabolic interactions governing their interactions in the degradation of complex (emerging pollutants) or pollutants at low concentrations (micropollutants).
