… with less fertilizer. For millions of years, underground fungi have lived in symbiosis with plant roots. Plants provide photosynthesized carbon, while fungi deliver water and nutrients. In order to do so, these organisms share space at cellular scale: fungi stretch a network of tendrils called arbuscules into a …

… delicately above the leaf debris are revealed to be single bacterial cells, visible to the naked eye.
