FlbD: A Regulator of Hyphal Growth, Stress Resistance, Pathogenicity, and Chlamydospore Production in the Nematode-Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys flagrans [PDF]
MicroorganismsArthrobotrys flagrans is a typical nematode-trapping fungus that captures nematodes by producing three-dimensional networks. FlbD is a DNA-binding protein containing a Myb domain, which plays a significant role in fungal development.

Cell fusion-related proteins AoHam4, AoHam8 and AoPP2A regulate hyphal fusion, conidiation, trap morphogenesis, and secondary metabolism in Arthrobotrys oligospora [PDF]
VirulenceThe diverse mycelial networks of fungi are generated through polar growth, cell division, and cell fusion. Most of the genes are well characterized as crucial for cellular communication and fusion processes in filamentous fungi, but their functions and ...

Ultrastructure of Nematode-Trapping Fungi [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1972 Capture cells differ ultrastructurally from vegetative cells in the nematode-trapping fungi, Dactylella drechslerii, Monacrosporium rutgeriensis and Arthrobotrys dactyloides , which capture prey by means of adhesive knobs, adhesive hyphal networks, and constricting rings, respectively ...

Collagenase Production by Nematode-Trapping Fungi [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1980 A number of species of nematode-trapping fungi, which capture and digest nematodes having keratin and collagen in their cuticles, were tested for the ability to produce extracellular collagenase and keratinase. Collagenase, which is active on ichthyocol, earthworm collagen, and procollagen from chicken embryo fibroblasts, was found in the ...

Intercellular communication is required for trap formation in the nematode-trapping fungus Duddingtonia flagrans. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2019 Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) are a large and diverse group of fungi, which may switch from a saprotrophic to a predatory lifestyle if nematodes are present.
