saprotroph

Other terms, such as saprotroph or saprobe may be used instead of saprophyte.

Saprolegnia, like most water moulds, is both a saprotroph and necrotroph.

A saprophyte or saprotroph is an organism which gets its energy from non-living organic matter.

Upon these substrates, it feeds as a saprotroph, breaking down the dead organic matter in order to sustain itself.

Athelia rolfsii occurs in soil as a saprotroph, but can also attack living plants.

The species favours the trunk of trees, where it feeds as a saprotroph, causing white rot.

Free-living A. fischeri survive on decaying organic matter (see saprotroph).

It is a common, widespread saprotroph.

It is a naturally occurring compound found in the soil saprotroph Streptomyces roseosporus.

The species feeds as a saprotroph.

The species appears to be a soil saprotroph, principally associated with grasses, possibly always as a pathogen.

The species invade outdoor mushroom beds after wood chips have decomposed by a primary saprotroph.

The fungus is an acidophilic litter saprotroph.

Although it is a plant pathogen, it can also live as a saprotroph in the phyllosphere when conditions are not favourable for disease.

It is a saprotroph, living on decaying plant material, and not mycorrhizal as is the case in most other species of Amanita.

It is a saprotroph that acts as a primary decomposer of wood, especially deciduous trees, and beech trees in particular.

Found in China, the fruit bodies produced by the species are brown, woody basidiocarps that grow on dead wood, where the fungus feeds as a saprotroph.

Like all Leucocoprinus species, L. fragilissimus is a saprotroph, living on very decayed plant matter (humus or compost).

Karunarathnae also proposed that Rhinosporidium existed in a dimorphic state - a saprotroph in soil and water and a yeast form inside living tissues.

As matter decomposes within a medium in which a saprotroph is residing, the saprotroph breaks such matter down into its composites.

A saprotroph, it is found on decomposing plant matter as well as on woodchips and mulch and is common in gardens and amenities plantings.

Green waste, such as leaf litter and tree stumps are also capable of supporting P. ramorum as a saprotroph and acting as a source of inoculum.

Particular favoured habitats include path sides and underneath bracken, while favoured substrates include soil, moss and plant waste, where it feeds as a saprotroph.

These two species of bracket fungus have a worldwide distribution in both tropical and temperate geographical regions, growing as a parasite or saprotroph on a wide variety of trees.

It occurs as a soil saprotroph, producing basidiocarps on dead stems and fallen litter, but is also a facultative plant pathogen causing disease of crops and turf grass.
