Nematode-fungal interactions. Structure-function relationships.

Nematophagous fungi can infect and digest nematodes and use the contents of the prey for development of fungal biomass. Generally, these organisms encounter the nematode host in two ways either by means of trapping devices formed on an extended mycelium (predatory or nematode-trapping fungi) or by means of conidia (endoparasitic fungi). Currently, the structure/ function relationships during the complex nematode/fungus interaction of the free-living bacteriovorous nematode Panagrellus redivivus and the predatory fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora were thoroughly investigated by means of different light- and electron-microscopical methods. For endoparasitic fungi, however, knowledge about these aspects of infection, at the onset of our studies, was comparatively small. ...
