Its ubiquity is evident by the isolation of this microorganism in fecal specimens from healthy hosts, soil, water, waste, vegetables, and processed silage or food (as well as their factories) [ 1].
In an interesting study on how any change in soil microbial communities along soil nitrogen gradient would influence PSF, Larios and Suding concluded that plant species hosting soil communities and soil resources may impact soil microbial communities, and neighbouring competing species also influences such effects.
As expected, a high amount of variation was explained by the combined effect of hosts-soil, hosts-topoclimate and soil-topoclimate, since there is a close relationship between each pair of factors, such as the NDVI linking topoclimate and soil.
Phenotypic variation among A. flavus genotypes confers differential adaptation to hosts, soils, and environmental conditions (Garber and Cotty 2014; Mehl and Cotty 2013; Mehl et al. 2012).
The rhabditiform larvae that are voided with the feces can undergo two distinct cycles in the soil: (1) direct (host-soil-host) cycle and (2) indirect cycle [ 1].
PCR can be used successfully to identify the fungi within the host or soil.
By Siddhartha Mukherjee We've tended to focus on the cancer, but its host tissue — "soil," rather than "seed" — could help us predict the danger it poses.

Positive effects on yield were even considered as 'erratic' in field assays conducted in the USA where no correlation was found with host plant, soil type and N fertilization.
