The FungiResp method: An application of the MicroResp™ method to assess fungi in microbial communities as soil biological indicators

► The FungiResp method uses the MicroResp™ system and the selective bronopol inhibition procedure. ► FungiResp characterizes fungal biomass and catabolic profiles in soil microbial communities. ► FungiResp was applied to assess environmental factors affecting soil function. ► FungiResp highlighted the fungal part of the microbial SIR in these different contexts.
