Abstract
Nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) are a unique group of predacious fungi which produce various type of trapping devices to prey on free-living and parasitic nematodes. These fungi are potential to be utilized in agricultural fields to control the infestation of root-knot nematodes into the horticultural plants. Exploration of indigenous NTF from Indonesia, especially North Sumatra region is still limited and worth investigated for the field application. A fungus was isolated from an urban organic waste in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, being able to entrap nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans) by using three dimensional adhesive networks. The fungus was morphologically described as an unidentified Arthrobotrys species with hyaline conidiophores and 1–3 septated subsphaerical to obovoid-shaped conidia. PCR-amplified DNA encoding Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region displayed 99% similarity to Arthrobotrys sinensis. Based on these morphological and molecular features, the fungus was then identified as A. sinensis, strain from North Sumatra and was regarded as a new record for Indonesia.
