Aphelenchus avenae is a mycophagous nematode capable of feeding on plant tissue in culture. * Feeding: Hyphal feeder; Aphelenchus avenae feeds on a variety of fungi, but is not known to feed on higher plants. * Hosts: Fungi * Digestion: A genetic analysis by Karim et al. 2009 reveals cell wall-lytic enzymes in A. avenae - enzymes analogous in function to the in cyst nematodes. * Life Cycle: Males seem fairly common in some populations, less frequent in others; Capable of withstanding dry conditions through anhydrobiosis. Used as a model system for studying anhydrobiosis. * Management: Numbers are increased by addition of complex organic materials to soil to enhance fungal decomposition.
