Observations on the occurrence of nematophagous fungi in Scotland

Abstract

A total of 54 nematophagous fungi were isolated from soil samples from 4 different types of habitats in Edinburgh, Scotland. Nematode-trapping fungi included 11 species of Arthrobotrys, 2 each of Dactylellina and Drechslerella and 3 of Stylopage. Fifteen species of endoparasites were isolated. The highest frequency of occurrence in terms of habitat was of Arthrobotrys gephyropaga and Drechslerella brochopaga among predators and that of Harposporium anguillulae among endoparasites. This study indicates equal distribution of both predatory and endoparasitic fungi.
