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 ...

Nematode-trapping fungi eavesdrop on nematode pheromones. [PDF]
Curr Biol, 2013 The recognition of molecular patterns associated with specific pathogens or food sources is fundamental to ecology and plays a major role in the evolution of predator-prey relationships. Recent studies showed that nematodes produce an evolutionarily highly conserved family of small molecules, the ascarosides, which serve essential functions in ...

Bacteria can mobilize nematode-trapping fungi to kill nematodes. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2014 AbstractIn their natural habitat, bacteria are consumed by bacterivorous nematodes; however, they are not simply passive preys. Here we report a defensive mechanism used by certain bacteria to mobilize nematode-trapping fungi to kill nematodes. These bacteria release urea, which triggers a lifestyle switch in the fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora from ...
