Abstract

Soil contains a diverse range of fungi that are parasites on nematodes. These fungi include the nematode-trapping fungi that are dependent on specific hyphal structures on or in which nematodes can be trapped mechanically or by adhesion. The interests of studying these fungi come from their potential use as biological control agents against plant- and animal-parasitic nematodes. Studies on the molecular mechanisms of the interaction between nematode-trapping fungi and nematodes were initiated already in the 1950s. Recently, the infection process, including the differentiation of trap cells and the penetration and digestion of nematodes, has been examined using tools of genomics and functional genomics. The results from these studies are reviewed. We discuss how genomic approaches can provide insights into the infection process, the environmental factors that influence survival and activity in soils, and the mechanisms that could account for the variation in parasitic activity within and between species of nematode-trapping fungi.
