| As these hosts die, the fungus acts saprophytically to utilize the food substrates contained in them. |
|
| Therefore, we hypothesize that these organisms lived saprophytically upon sulfate-reducing bacteria, rather than feeding in the water column. |
|
| It is a dimorphic fungus that exists saprophytically in nature and has a worldwide distribution. |
|
| Many of these live saprophytically on dead organic matter on or in soil where they are regarded as the most important decomposers of plant residues and other organic matter. |
|
| On dung, the fungus usually appears as part of a succession of different genera, not independently, and can also live saprophytically on plant remains. |
|
| Our effectiveness testing results indicated that saprophytically competent rhizobia were not necessarily symbiotically effective. |
