This fungus is hemibiotroph, with two characteristic phases : biotrophic ( expanding and infecting, on living tissue ) and saprotrophic ( producing basidiospores, on necrotic tissue ).
32.
Although it is primarily a saprotrophic species, feeding on the decomposing organic matter remaining after a fire, it also forms biotrophic associations with the roots of Norway spruce.
33.
In a study in Sweden, sporocarps of an ectomycorrhizal fungus contained ten times the concentration of radiocesium than the surrounding litter, while saprotrophic species exhibited nearly half that value.
34.
In congruence with older reports, it has been recently shown that some myco-heterotrophic orchids can be supported by saprotrophic fungi, exploiting litter-or wood-decaying fungi.
35.
Like other member of the genus " Exophiala ", " E . phaeomuriformis " is saprotrophic, obtaining its energy exclusively from non-living organic materials.
36.
""'Pseudomonas extremorientalis " "'is a Gram-negative, saprotrophic, fluorescent bacterium found in a drinking water reservoir near Vladivostok City, Russia.
37.
Like other members of the genus of Phellinus it lives by saprotrophic nutrition, in which the lignin and cellulose of a host tree is degraded and is a cause of crotch rot.
38.
Ericoid mycorrhizas have also been shown to have considerable saprotrophic capabilities, which would enable plants to receive nutrients from not-yet-decomposed materials via the decomposing actions of their ericoid partners.
39.
These reversals to a saprotrophic mode are impractical given that the host plants involved in the EcM symbioses ( Pinaceae and rosids ) had not yet evolved when the studied class Agaricomycetes first appeared.
40.
""'Nolanea " "'has been defined as a genus of small gray to brown pink-spored mushrooms that are mostly saprotrophic and grow on the ground.
