Nematode-Trapping Fungi Produce Diverse Metabolites during Predator–Prey Interaction [PDF]
Metabolites, 2020 Nematode-trapping fungi are natural antagonists of nematodes. These predatory fungi are capable of switching their lifestyle from a saprophytic to predatory stage in the presence of nematodes by developing specialized trapping devices to capture and ...

Regulatory Mechanism of Trap Formation in the Nematode-Trapping Fungi [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Nematode-trapping (NT) fungi play a significant role in the biological control of plant- parasitic nematodes. NT fungi, as a predator, can differentiate into specialized structures called “traps” to capture, kill, and consume nematodes at a nutrient ...

Urea regulates soil nematode population by enhancing the nematode-trapping ability of nematode-trapping fungi [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAs the most abundant animal in the soil, nematodes are directly or indirectly involved in almost all soil ecological processes. Studying soil nematode population regulation is essential to understanding soil ecological processes.

Expansion of Adhesion Genes Drives Pathogenic Adaptation of Nematode-Trapping Fungi [PDF]
iScience, 2020 Summary: Understanding how fungi interact with other organisms has significant medical, environmental, and agricultural implications. Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) can switch to pathogens by producing various trapping devices to capture nematodes.

Tools and basic procedures of gene manipulation in nematode-trapping fungi [PDF]
Mycology, 2023 Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) are the majority of carnivorous microbes to capture nematodes through diverse and sophisticated trapping organs derived from hyphae. They can adopt carnivorous lifestyles in addition to saprophytism to obtain extra-nutrition

Genomic mechanisms accounting for the adaptation to parasitism in nematode-trapping fungi. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Orbiliomycetes is one of the earliest diverging branches of the filamentous ascomycetes. The class contains nematode-trapping fungi that form unique infection structures, called traps, to capture and kill free-living nematodes.
