Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This unidentified fungus was isolated from parasitized egg masses of Meloidogyne incognita, a species of root-knot nematode that was infecting roots of tomato ('Orange Pixie').

The fungus probably produces chitinase, an enzyme that degrades chitin, a principal component of the nematode's egg shells.

This fungus was also applied to a colony of living banana aphids (Pentalonia nigronervosa), where it killed and colonized individual aphids.

The exoskeletons of aphids and other insects also have chitin as a primary component.

Here the fungus grows on 10% V8 juice agar.
