Co-inoculation of Cyanobacteria and Fungi Promotes Induced Biocrust Formation and Stabilization of Quartz Sand Tailings

Abstract Biocrust induction is increasingly explored to stabilize mine tailings, but the microbial interactions driving biocrust assembly, especially those between cyanobacteria and fungi, remain largely uncharacterized. In this study, five cyanobacterial strains ( Nostoc sp., Tr...
