Arthrobotrys musiformis

Ciri dan struktur

Arthrobotrys musiformis has septate hyphae less than 5 μm in diameter that form branching mycelium that may become very dense to catch nematodes with. When kept as a colony, the colony is white and radial This fungi produces spores on curved, obvoid conidia that are 32 to 42 μm in length and 10 to 12 μm in width. The conidia are developed in 1 to 2 weeks on conidiophores that range between 250 and 375 μm long. Following germination of conidia or production of nets, A. musiformis may produce chlamdospores 10-20 μm in diameter. A. musiformis may be identified using its conidiaphores as they form a globalar, 'head' structure containing 5 to 15 conidia. To catch nematodes, the fungi produces 3 dimensional adhesive nets. These adhesive nets can be used to identify A. musiformis from its close relatives, as many Arthrobotrys produce identifying, horseshoe like 2 dimensional rings. The fungi forms nets with 2 to 7 loops 18-20 μm in inside diameter that connect back to the mycelium near where the net branched off. These nets may capture nematodes by entangling them, though some studies suggest they are captured using strong adhesives on the net instead. Following capture, the fungi may develop assimilative hyphae that grow into the nematode and digest it.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

Arthrobotrys musiformis obtains nutrients through breaking down organic debris or capturing nematodes, known as saprotrophy and nematophagy respectively. These two modes require the fungus to switch in lifestyle, which is accompanied by differential regulation of gene expression. Some studies find that nematophagous fungi have limited impact on large scale ecological systems in California, though they caution that it is difficult to confidently reject fungi's involvement in processes such as the distribution of nematodes. In China, studies indicate that A. musiformis may be a dominant nematophagous fungi species in livestock fields, able to survive in soil and feces while continuing predacious and reproductive activity. The success of A. musiformis in this environment is estimated to be a result of lower nutritional costs, higher growing rates and greater reproductive ability in feces. While capable of surviving temperatures as low as 1 degree Celsius, the fungi performs best in wet, warm environments, with the greatest population being recorded in the rainy season at the end of summer. Likewise, the fungus did poorly during dry and cold weather at the end of winter While the first description of A. musiformis described it as being distributed along the East Coast of the United States, additional studies describe the distribution as ranging into Ireland, Canada, Denmark, and China.
