Abstract

A fungus that can capture nematodes by means of sessile adhesive knobs was isolated from rotten wood in Uiseong, Korea. It was found to produce single, spindle-shaped, 3-4 septate (commonly 4-septate) conidia, $44.8\;{\mu}m$ (range, $41.6-50.1\;{\mu}m$) long and $13.3\;{\mu}m$ (range, $10.7-15.4\;{\mu}m$) wide. Conidiophores were found to be hyaline, erect, straight, and $202.7-245.7\;{\mu}m$ high. On the basis of these morphological features, the fungus was identified as Monacrosporium phymatopagum. This is the first report of M. phymatopagum in Korea which can be a potential biological control resource of plant parasitic nematode.
