| pcr primers with enhanced specificity for nematode-trapping fungi (orbiliales). | nematode-trapping fungi, a monophyletic lineage within the orbiliales (ascomycota), use specialized structures to capture and consume nematodes in soil, leaf litter, and other substrates. these fungi have been studied both because of their unique predatory life history and because they are potential control agents of important plant- and animal-parasitic nematodes. ecological studies of nematode-trapping fungi have primarily used culture-based methods, but molecular detection techniques are now ... | 2009 | 18931821 |
