Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Microbiology
  • Ecology

Context:

  • Microscopic animals, particularly nematodes, play significant roles in various ecosystems.
  • Fungi possess diverse predatory mechanisms to capture and consume microscopic prey.

Purpose:

  • To describe fungi capable of preying on microscopic animals.
  • To focus on nematode-destroying fungi due to their abundance and ecological significance.
  • To discuss the ecology and biological control potential of nematode-destroying fungi.

Summary:

  • Fungi that prey on microscopic animals through capture, invasion, and digestion are detailed.
  • Nematode-destroying fungi are highlighted as the most abundant, frequently isolated, and extensively studied group.
  • The ecological roles and potential application in nematode management are examined.
