Interspecific combative interactions between wood-decaying basidiomycetes

摘要: Competition is the most common type of interaction occurring between wood-decaying higher fungi. Since competition for nutrients in organic resources effectively brought about by space, division into interference and exploitation not very appropriate. Fungal can be divided primary resource capture (obtaining uncolonized resources) secondary (combat to obtain already colonized other fungi). Combative mechanisms include antagonism at a distance, hyphal interference, mycoparasitism gross mycelial contact. Interactions result deadlock or replacement, hierarchy combative ability discerned amongst fungi that inhabit particular resources, but within this there exists intransitivity, modification outcome species abiotic variables. dramatically alter function, have potential as biological control agents fungal pathogens trees service timber.
