1962 Mycologia 54 72 Parasitism of fungi on other fungi (mycoparasitism) is a special mode of existence for many species of fungi.
1982 New Phytologist 91 252 It has been suggested that mycoparasitism within mucorine fungi may have originated in attempts by ancestral mycoparasites to mate with their hosts.
1997 Mycopathologia 139 115 The results suggest that mycoparasitism is not the mechanism involved in the inhibitory interaction of either A. flavus or F. moniliforme with Trichoderma spp.
2001 Curr. Genetics 38 335 These data show that Chit33 [= chitinase 33] is an enzyme involved in mycoparasitism.
