Scanning electron micrographs of Mortierella globalpina pathogenesis on Meloidogyne chitwoodi nematodes. (a) Hyphae of M. globalpina penetrating egg of M. chitwoodi. (b) Higher magnification of hyphae from M. globalpina growing and penetrating egg of M. chitwoodi (c) Hyphae from M. globalpina growing inside M. chitwoodi egg and digesting cuticle layer of M. chitwoodi egg. (d) Higher magnification of hyphae from M. globalpina growing inside M. chitwoodi egg and digesting inner contents of egg. (e) M. globalpina hyphae fully colonizing inner-cuticle of M. chitwoodi adult and presumptively digesting cellular contents. (f) Hyphae of M. globalpina colonizing inner contents of adult M. chitwoodi nematode to then reemerge from nematode cuticle to continue search for nutrition. Six images were combined into one figure with Adobe Photoshop CS6.
