== Technical ==

Glomalin is a glycoprotein produced abundantly on hyphae and spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soil and in roots. The name comes from Glomerales, an order of fungi.

Glomalin is both the toughest and most ubiquitous soil glue, appearing in virtually all soil samples around the world.<ref>https://agresearchmag.ars.usda.gov/2002/sep/soil</ref>
