Growth of Arthrobotrys superba from a birch wood resource base into soil determined by radioactive tracing
(2000) In FEMS Microbiology Ecology 31(1). p.47-51- Abstract
- The ability of a nematode-trapping fungus to establish in field soil is an important characteristic when considering its use as a biological control agent. The outgrowth of the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys superba from wood was recorded by labelling the fungus with [14C]3-O-methylglucose and [32P]orthophosphoric acid and by using the soil sprinkling method. The fungus reached a distance of 7–8 cm during 25 days in heat-treated (60°C) soil, detected by either radioactive tracing or the soil sprinkling technique. The two labelled compounds were co-distributed at all sampling times (r2=0.946) which indicates that the glucose pool (as methylglucose) and phosphorus content were correlated throughout the mycelium. In natural,... (More)

In natural, non-heat-treated soil the fungus reached a distance of 1.5 cm from one disc of birch wood after 30 days, while it reached 3.2 cm during the same period when the food base was a pile of five inoculated discs. The experiments showed, for the first time, that a nematophagous fungus, A. superba, can grow out into soil from a piece of wood and supported by nutrients translocated from the resource base to the edge of the mycelium (Less)
