Moulds are characterized by their saprophytic lifestyle that is based on osmotrophy.
2
Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic fungus commonly found in soil and compost piles.
3
It should be teeming with Proteus vulgaris, too, which is a saprophytic bacterium.
4
Bacteria of the genus Streptomyces are soil microorganisms with a saprophytic life cycle.
5
This saprophytic fungus has caused disseminated disease in immunosuppressed humans.
6
Certain species, such as Gymnodinium spirale, are colourless and therefore saprophytic in their method of nutrition.
7
Many are exclusively parasitic or saprophytic, and many are facultative, both conditions of living being possible.
8
Streptomycetes usually are saprophytic microorganisms, but a few species have acquired the ability to infect underground plant tissues.
9
Toxigenic saprophytic fungi were isolated from samples of shellfish, sediment and seawater obtained from marine shellfish farming areas.
10
The morphological development of these traps is the key indicator of their switch from saprophytic to predacious lifestyles.
11
Gene expression analysis revealed a consistent up-regulation of the adhesion genes during their lifestyle transition from saprophytic to nematophagous stages.
12
The isolates were characterized and compared for 14 different attributes of saprophytic fitness and pathogenic fitness on a susceptible wheat variety.
13
Bacteria may further be divided into those which are saprophytic or which find favorable conditions for life outside of the body, and the parasitic.
14
SUMMARY We describe the analysis of 57 727 unique expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from 15 species of phytopathogenic and three species of saprophytic fungi.
15
Saprophytic means it flourishes in dead or decaying matter.
16
Moulds are characterized by their saprophytic lifestyle that is based on osmotrophy.
