Significance Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) are carnivorous microbes that hold potential to be used as biological control agents due to their ability to consume nematodes. In this work, we show that NTF are ubiquitous generalist predators found in sympatry with their prey in soil samples. Wild isolates of NTF displayed a naturally diverse ability to execute their predatory lifestyle. We generated a large whole-genome sequencing dataset for many of the fungal isolates that will serve as the basis of future projects. In particular, we establish TWF154, a highly responsive strain ofArthrobotrys oligospora , as a model strain to study the genetics of NTF. Lastly, we provide evidence that the G-protein β-subunit Gpb1 plays an important role in trap induction in NTF.

Natural diversity in the predatory behavior facilitates the establishment of a robust model strain for nematode-trapping fungi
