Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a crucial role in soil ecosystems by significantly impacting their stability and functioning. This study aims to analyze the practical application of AMF by combining them with environmental nanomaterials (ENs) to create AMF–EN. This study investigated the ecotoxicological effects and pollutant adsorption properties of this material. From the biotoxicity experiments on the composite, it was determined that the growth rate of plant cells under the influence of the nanocomposite was 7.49%, notably surpassing that of titanium dioxide (TD) nanomaterials, which was estimated to be 5.58%. Additionally, the adsorption properties of AMF–ENs were examined. The results showed that the concentration of soil pollutants under the influence of AMF–TD nanocomplexes in the tested soils was 58.6 mg/g, which was significantly lower than that of TD nanomaterials. The outcomes demonstrate that the physiological toxicity and adsorption properties of environmental nanocomplexes with AMF have been optimized. Consequently, the combination of AMF and environmental nanocomplexes in the preparation can efficiently enhance the ecological effect of ENs.
