“…By random or chemotaxis-driven mechanisms ( 28 ) they allow bacteria to colonize new environmental niches, to cross obstacles ( 29 , 30 ), or even to carry along phages ( 31 ). Dispersal thereby is based on bacterial swimming or surface-associated motility, although transport by growing hyphal structures may not be excluded ( 32 ). Translocation networks have been largely studied in soils but no attention has been paid to translocation networks in marine sediments because it is assumed that the translocation of bacteria is not limited in aquatic environments ( 33 ).…”

The study provides advances for understanding fungal-bacterial relationships, particularly on the selection and dispersion of bacterial communities by fungi, which are crucial for the organization of microbial communities and their functioning in coastal PAH-contaminated sediments. The transportation of bacteria via fungal hyphae (fungal highway) results in bacterial selection; in particular, fungal hyphae offer adequate conditions for the transport of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria through hydrophobic patches for the colonization of novel niches.
