J Chem Technol Biotechnol 95:950–958. https://doi.org/10.1002/jctb.5970Another mechanism that contributes to the increased uptake and accumulation of Hg is attributed to the improved nutrient status induced by AM fungi inoculation (Debeljak et al. 2018). It is widely recognized that the primary role of AM fungi on plants is to enhance mineral nutrient uptake, particularly phosphate (Karandashov and Bucher 2005). It has been demonstrated that phosphate is primarily transported in the form of polyphosphate via mycorrhizal hyphae (Wang et al. 2017). Coincidentally, transgenic tobacco plants engineered to express bacterial polyphosphate (polyP) exhibited higher Hg accumulation than wild-type tobacco (Nagata et al. 2006). This finding suggests that increasing the plant's polyphosphate content could be one way to enhance plant Hg accumulation, but it is unclear whether and to what extent this process is facilitated by AM fungi. Interestingly, Hg transformation and uptake can be enhanced by microorganisms under P-limiting conditions, as demonstrated in a study by (Živković et al. 2019). Given the primary role of AM fungi in facilitating phosphate transport as polyphosphates, harnessing this function could be a crucial aspect of Hg bioaugmented phytoremediation.
