Which is a fungal parasite on eggs of nematodes?

Question: Which is a fungal parasite on eggs of nematodes?

Options:

Paecilomyces spp.
Pasturia penetrans
Bacillus subtilis
Pseudomonas fluorescens

✅Explanation:
Paecilomyces spp. is a group of fungi known to be parasitic on nematode eggs. These fungi produce spores that attach to and penetrate the eggs, using enzymes to consume the contents and eventually killing the nematode embryo within. This makes them valuable biocontrol agents against plant-parasitic nematodes.

📌Other Options Explanations:
(b) Pasturia penetrans: This is a bacterium that parasitizes the female nematode.
(c) Bacillus subtilis: This is a bacterium commonly used as a biopesticide against various pests and diseases.
(d) Pseudomonas fluorescens: This is another bacterium used as a biocontrol agent, but it primarily acts against bacterial and fungal plant pathogens.
