Article Synopsis
- The nematode-trapping fungus Monacrosporium megalosporum was isolated and studied for its structure, behavior, and genetic traits.
- This fungus effectively captures the pine wilt nematode but does not affect a similar non-pathogenic nematode.
- The research indicates that acidic conditions hinder the fungus's growth and activity, suggesting that acid rain may indirectly contribute to the spread of pine wilt disease.
