چکیده

over one-year period, 150 pasture soil samples and 138 sheep faecal samples, collected from different parts of iran were screened for the presence of nematophagous fungi. the samples were cultured at 25ºc on chloramphenicol-2% water agar (chf-wa) plates in the presence of haemonchus contortus third stage larvae (l3) and checked over a two-month period for characteristic conidia, conidiophores and hyphal traps of nematophagous fungi. suspected nematophagous fungi were isolated by periodic transfer of the fungi on chf-wa plates using the agar block method. overall, 11 soil samples were found to harbour the nematode-trapping fungus arthrobotrys from which 3 pure isolates were made and consequently identified as arthrobotrys oligospora iran 877 c, iran 878 c and iran 879 c. nematophagous fungi were not found in any tested sheep faecal samples. the predatory capacity of the isolates was tested against h. contortus infective larvae and then compared to reference strains a. oligospora cbs 111.37, a. oligospora cbs 251.82 and duddingtonia flagrans cbs 583.91. the local strains of a. oligospora reduced the development of h. contortus l3 by 75-85%, whereas, the predatory capacity of reference a. oligospora and d. flagrans strains was measured in the range of 51-85% compared to the fungus free controls. study of the effect of temperature on predatory activity of a. oligospora strains iran 877 c and cbs 111.37 revealed a reduction of more than 95% in infective larvae of h. contortus at temperature levels between 15 to 25ºc. this reduction was significantly decreased to 30% and 50% at 10ºc and 30ºc, respectively. the nematode-trapping fungus a. oligospora is reported from soil of iran for the first time and its potential role in biocontrol of gastrointestinal nematodes of ruminants is discussed

Screening of Soil and Sheep Faecal Samples for Predacious Fungi: Isolation and Characterization of the Nematode-Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora

Over one-year period, 150 pasture soil samples and 138 sheep faecal samples, collected from different parts of Iran were screened for the presence of nematophagous fungi. The samples were cultured at 25ºC on chloramphenicol-2% water agar (CHF-WA) plates in the presence of Haemonchus contortus third stage larvae (L3) and checked over a two-month period for characteristic conidia, conidiophores a...

Surface polymers of the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora.

The nematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora captures nematodes using adhesive polymers present on special hyphae (traps) which form a three-dimensional network. To understand further the adhesion mechanisms, A. oligospora surface polymers were visualized by transmission electron microscopy and characterized by chemical methods. Both traps and hyphae were surrounded by a fibrillar layer of ...

Genetic diversity and recombination in natural populations of the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora from China

Nematophagous fungi can trap and capture nematodes and other small invertebrates. This unique ability has made them ideal organisms from which to develop biological control agents against plant- and animal-parasitic nematodes. However, effective application of biocontrol agents in the field requires a comprehensive understanding about the ecology and population genetics of the nematophagous fun...

Genomic and Proteomic Analyses of the Fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora Provide Insights into Nematode-Trap Formation

Nematode-trapping fungi are "carnivorous" and attack their hosts using specialized trapping devices. The morphological development of these traps is the key indicator of their switch from saprophytic to predacious lifestyles. Here, the genome of the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora Fres. (ATCC24927) was reported. The genome contains 40.07 Mb assembled sequence with 11,479 predic...

Isoenzyme analysis of Arthrobotrys, a nematode-trapping fungus.

Extraction and isoenzyme analysis of four isolates of Arthrobotrys including A. musiformis, A. robusta and A. conoides were conducted. Among the 14 enzymes studied by starch gel electrophoresis, using morpholine-citrate as gel/electrode buffer, the following nine enzymes showed interpretable banding patterns: alpha-esterase, fumarase, hexokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, leucine aminopeptidase...

Nematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora mimics olfactory cues of sex and food to lure its nematode prey

To study the molecular basis for predator-prey coevolution, we investigated how Caenorhabditis elegans responds to the predatory fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora. C. elegans and other nematodes were attracted to volatile compounds produced by A. oligospora. Gas-chromatographic mass-spectral analyses of A. oligospora-derived volatile metabolites identified several odors mimicking food cues attract...
