Extracellular enzymes and the pathogenesis of nematophagous fungi
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2007Nematophagous fungi are an important group of soil microorganisms that can suppress the populations of plant-parasitic nematodes. The pathogenic mechanisms of nematophagous fungi are diverse: They can be parasitical-mechanical through producing specialized capturing devices, or toxin-dependent.

The Role of Melanin in the Biology and Ecology of Nematophagous Fungi
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2021Melanin is a heteropolymer formed by the polymerization of phenolic and indolic compounds. It occurs in organisms across all biological kingdoms and has a range different of functions, thus indicating its important evolutionary role. The presence of melanin offers several protective advantages, including against ultraviolet radiation, traumatic damage,

Enchytraeids and nematophagous fungi in soil microcosms
Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1997In small containers of soil in the laboratory, the enchytraeid Enchytraeus crypticus destroyed colonies of the nematophagous fungus Hirsutella rhossiliensis growing from pelletized hyphae, and reduced biological control of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica.

Nematophagous fungi represent an ancient and diverse group of fungi that use refined mycelial structures or their conidia to capture. They are classified on the basis of their mechanism of interaction with the animal as endoparasites, trap-forming fungi, and opportunists. They have received high attention as biological control agents against nematodes,

Nematophagous Fungi: Physiological Aspects and Structure–Function Relationships
1994Publisher Summary The chapter discusses physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural aspects of both predatory and endoparasitic nematophagous fungi and explains current views on the role of the fungi in natural ecosystems. Both predatory and endoparasitic fungi share the property of producing sophisticated morphological structures that enable ...

Nematophagous Fungi as Root Endophytes
2007Nematophagous fungi constitute a group of fungal antagonists to nematodes. The latter arc small roundworms living in soil and water. Most nematodes are saprotrophic, but many species are parasites of plants and animals (Poinar 1983). The nematophagous fungi have been suggested as promising candidatesfor bioiogical control of parasitic nematodes ...

Nematophagous fungi: Endoparasites ofRhabditis terricola
Microbial Ecology, 1977Three techniques were compared for the recovery of endoparasitic nematophagous fungi from soil. The Baermann funnel technique (32 species) was superior to differential centrifugation (19 species) or soil sprinkling (21 species) in terms of number of species found.

Methodology for Studying Nematophagous Fungi
2014There has been a huge increase in our knowledge of nematophagous fungi, however, the methodology used to study these organisms are unique and have changed little over the years. Nematophagous fungi are easy to find and cultivate, but their peculiar mode of life makes it necessary to use certain techniques to bring them under observation.

Quantification of predatory and endoparasitic nematophagous fungi in soil
Microbial Ecology, 1987Methods were developed to quantify predatory and endoparasitic fungi in soil. The methods were based on previously developed detection techniques and combined with a most probable number estimation. The methods were applied to an agricultural soil fertilized with farmyard manure. Large amounts of farmyard manure resulted in increased amounts of organic

Some possible fossil nematophagous fungi
Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1986Fossil nematodes in pieces of Mexican amber, approximately 25 million years old, appeared to have been parasitized by fungi showing a striking resemblance to present-day nematophagous species.
