Morphogenesis in the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora - an extensive plasticity of infection structures
- B. Nordbring-Hertz
- Biology
- 1 August 2004
The application of genomics to understand the function and the development of infection structures, therefore, has substantially increased the potential of A. oligospora to become a model system for fungal morphogenesis.

The present results support the current view that traps of A. oligospora contribute to the survival of the organism in its natural environment.
Development and fate of electron-dense microbodies in trap cells of the nematophagous fungusArthrobotrys oligospora

- 2005
The development of electron-dense microbodies in cells of capture organs of the nematophagous fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora was studied with different ultrastructural techniques and suggested that their presence must be explained by dilution of organelles in newly formed cells.
Action of a nematode-trapping fungus shows lectin-mediated host–microorganism interaction
- B. Nordbring-Hertz, B. Mattiasson
- BiologyNature
- 11 October 1979
The hypothesis is that the firmness of attachment to the traps despite the struggle of the nematode is due to a series of events, beginning with an interaction between complementary molecular configurations on the nem atode and fungal surfaces.
Fungal parasitism of the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii: infection and enzymatic activity
- C. Dackman, I. Chet, B. Nordbring-Hertz
- Biology
- 1 March 1989
The ability of the fungi to infect eggs was correlated with their lytic enzyme activity, and fungi that readily infected eggs also showed chitinase activity and presence of proteolytic activity.
Attraction of Nematodes to Living Mycelium of Nematophagous Fungi
- H. Jansson, B. Nordbring-Hertz
- Biology
- 1 May 1979
The attraction intensity of different fungi increased with increasing dependence of the fungi on nematodes for nutrients, and that of the nematophagous fungi also increased.
Dialysis Membrane Technique for Studying Microbial Interaction
- B. Nordbring-Hertz
- BiologyApplied and Environmental Microbiology
- 1 January 1983
A dialysis membrane method is described which allows (i) cultivation of fungi on an agar support, (ii) observation of growth and development by direct light microscopy, (iii) transfer of cultures…

- BiologyAntonie van Leeuwenhoek
- 2005
A detailed analysis was made of the capture and subsequent penetration of nematodes by the nematophagous fungusArthrobotrys oligospora using different electron-microscopical techniques. Capture of…
