Ion beam mutagenesis in Arthrobotrys oligospora enhances nematode-trapping ability.

Abstract excerpt

The nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora is able to produce extracellular protease that degrades the body walls of parasitic nematode larvae found in livestock and immobilizes the nematodes. Our aim was to obtain a strain of A. oligospora with a strong ability to trap nematodes by production of high levels of extracellular protease. A wild type strain of A. oligospora was subjected to mutagenic...
