Mode of Action of Fungal and Bacterial Nematicides
Fungi in this category are divided into nematode-trapping, endoparasitic, egg- and female-parasitic, and toxin-producing groups. For instance, nematode-trapping fungi like Monacrosporium megalosporum capture nematodes with adhesive networks of their hyphae. Catenaria anguillulae, an endoparasitic fungus belonging to the Chytridiomycota group, is unique among true (chitin-walled) fungi as it produces motile spores known as zoospores. This fungus often acts as a facultative (non-specific) parasite of nematodes and other microorganisms. Using phase-contrast microscopy, one can observe single and double chains of mature and immature fungal sporangia on infected nematodes.

Nematophagous bacteria are classified by their mechanisms of action into parasitic bacteria and non-parasitic rhizobacteria.
