“…Then, there is a specific recognition step where a saccharide such as galactose or trehalose from the mycoparasite binds to a lectin from the host fungus surface (Elad et al 1983; Inbar and Chet 1992). The agglutinin or lectin–carbohydrate interaction model developed by Manocha and Sahai (1993) represents the recognition between a mycoparasite and host fungus. The next step involves contact and penetration where the mycoparasite intertwines with the mycelium of the host fungus and penetrates via specialized infection structures (Harman et al 2004; Chatterton and Punja 2009).…”

Clonostachys rosea is a promising saprophytic filamentous fungus that belongs to phylum Ascomycota. Clonostachys rosea is widespread around the world and exists in many kinds of habitats, with the highest frequency in soil. As an excellent mycoparasite, C. rosea exhibits strong biological control ability against numerous fungal plant pathogens, nematodes and insects. These behaviours are based on the activation of multiple mechanisms such as secreted cell-walldegrading enzymes, production of antifungal secondary metabolites and induction of plant defence systems. Besides having significant biocontrol activity, C. rosea also functions in the biodegradation of plastic waste, biotransformation of bioactive compounds, as a bioenergy sources and in fermentation. This mini review summarizes information about the biology and various applications of C. rosea and expands on its possible uses.

“…However, despite the fact that first observations and reports of this phenomenon were published decades ago, we are only now on the verge of being able to understand it. Reviews dealing with cellular interactions in fungi (Tunlid et al 1992;Manocha and Sahai 1993), and the specificity of attachment of fungal parasites to their hosts have been published. The physiology and biochemistry of biotrophic mycoparasitism in particular have been extensively reviewed by Manocha (1990).…”
