Nematophagous fungi are carnivorous fungi specialized in trapping and digesting nematodes. More than 700 species are known. [1] . Species exist that live inside the nematodes from the beginning and others that catch them, mostly with glue traps or in rings, some of which constrict on contact. Some species possess both types of traps.

2006年4月24日 · Nematophagous fungi are microfungi that can capture, kill and digest nematodes. They use special mycelial structures, the so‐called traps, or spores to trap vermiform nematodes or...

2018年2月1日 · Nematophagous fungi are cosmopolitan microorganisms able to modify their saprophytic behavior to carnivorous, allowing them to feed on nematodes under unfavorable nutritional conditions.

2023年3月29日 · Nematophagous fungi are common soil organisms that may infect, attack, and consume nematodes at any stage of their development, including adults, juveniles, and eggs.

2011年11月15日 · Nematophagous fungi are microfungi that can capture, kill and digest nematodes. They use special mycelial structures, the so-called traps, or spores to trap vermiform nematodes or hyphal tips to attack nematode eggs and cysts before penetration of the nematode cuticle, invasion and digestion.

Nematophagous fungi refer to a diverse group of fungi which colonize and parasitize nematodes for exploitation of nutritious substances either by (1) nematode-trapping (= predacious or predatory fungi), (2) endoparasitic, (3) egg- and female-parasitic, and (4) toxin-production (Kusano et al., 2000).

The nematophagous fungi are of three main types on the basis of ecological habit: 1. Nematode-Trapping Fungi 2. Endoparasitic Fungi and 3. Egg Parasites.

Nematophagous fungi (NF) are a group of diverse fungal genera that benefit plants. The aim of this review is to increase comprehension about the importance of nematophagous fungi and their role in phosphorus solubilization to favor its uptake in agricultural ecosystems.

What remains to discover regarding nematophagous fungi includes indentifying the substances they produce, their optimal conditions of activity, how they interact with each other, and how do they work at the field level for best application strategy, culminating in decreasing the parasite population while simultaneously having fewer negative ...

2022年5月16日 · In this review, we supply a framework for the importance of nematophagous fungi (nematophagous fungi [NF]) and their role in agricultural ecosystems. We characterize the taxonomy, diversity, ecology, and type of NF, depending on their interaction with plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs).
