Abstract: Glomalin is a soil glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF).As AMF have a ubiquitous distribution in both natural and artificial terrestrial ecosystems,the ecological functions of AMF has been a fascinating field in mycorrhizal studies.Much attention have been paid to the ecological functions and roles of glomalin in soil ecosystems since it was discovered in 1996.In this brief review,the super glue and main organic contributors to soil were discussed and the recent research advances were summarized.
