“…Notably, Glomeromycetes exhibit widespread distribution in liverworts, possibly undergoing host swapping from vascular plants (Liepina, 2012 ). Ascomycetes like Rhizoscyphus ericae demonstrate a broad host range, inducing rhizoid branching and septation in leafy liverworts (Valdés et al, 2023 ). Additionally, observations of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal structures in epigeous hepatics underscore the varied fungal associations across bryophyte taxa, with mosses and hornworts showing no evidence of AM interactions (Liepina, 2012 ).…”

Bryophytes, the second-largest group of plants, play a crucial role as early colonizers of land and are a prolific source of naturally occurring substances with significant economic potential. Microorganisms, particularly bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi form intricate associations with plants, notably bryophytes, contributing to the ecological functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and sometimes it gives negative impact also. This review elucidates the pivotal role of endophytic bacteria in promoting plant growth, facilitating nutrient cycling, and enhancing environmental health. It comprehensively explores the diversity and ecological significance of fungal and bacterial endophytes across various ecosystems. Furthermore, it highlights the moss nitrogen dynamics observed in select moss species. Throughout the review, emphasis is placed on the symbiotic interdependence between bryophytes and microorganisms, offering foundational insights for future research endeavors. By shedding light on the intricate bryophyte-microorganism associations, this study advances our understanding of the complex interplay between plants, microbes, and their environment, paving the way for further research and applications in environmental and biotechnological realms.

Aim. A review of the literature to establish the mechanisms of the main mutualistic interactions that are important for the potential application of symbiotic fungi as biofertilizers, bioprotectors and bioregulators for more sustainable and so-called greening agriculture, soil restoration and understanding the role of microsymbionts in natural ecosystems. Methods. Comparative analysis of scientific literature. Results. Root mycorrhization is a potent factor of plant growth intensification, metabolic processes activation and macro-organism development improvement. Mycorrhiza formation is notable for angiosperms and gymnosperms, yet many representatives of bryophytes, ferns, and mosses also reveal (other) close symbiotic relations with fungi. Mycorrhizal fungi account for about 10 % of identified fungal species, including essentially all of the Glomeromycota and substantial fractions of the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. De- pending on the fungal structures and microsymbiont position in tissues or cells of the macrosymbiont, arbuscular, ericoid, arbutoid, monotropoid, orchid mycorrhiza and so-called ectendomycorrhiza, and ectomycorrhiza are distinguished. This review gives an overview of the signalling interaction between partners and the bidirectional mechanism of nutrient exchange or other mutual benefits. Conclusions. Microscopic saprophytic fungi, capable of penetrating plant roots and playing a critical role in plant adaptation to abiotic and biotic stressors, are of special interest in mutualistic symbioses. In addition, while forming mutualistic symbioses with plants, the saprophytic fungi promote bio- mass increase and enhance the food traits of plants. The type of interaction depends on both micro- and macrosymbiot; it may in some cases and for some organisms fluctuate from mutualistic, commensalistic to antagonistic, even parasitic interactions, demonstrating different stages of mutualism evolution and co-habitation and/or evolution of plants and fungi. A better understanding of the diverse roles of symbiotic microorganisms in ecosystems will improve the ways of their application in agriculture.
