saprophyte
ಪೂತಿ ಜೀವಿ
definition
noun
Unlike more advanced plants, fungi lack chlorophyll and so can only grow as saprophytes (from dead plants or animals); or as parasites (on living plants); or in a mycorrhizal relationship (symbiosis between fungi and the roots of trees).
a plant, fungus, or microorganism that lives on dead or decaying organic matter.

Mucor, a fungus from the class of Zygomycetes, is a ubiquitous 'saprophyte' that resides in soil and decaying organic matter.
As these hosts die, the fungus acts 'saprophytically' to utilize the food substrates contained in them.
Since then, there have been other reports describing various 'saprophytic' fungal organisms in cultures from allergic mucin.
Unlike more advanced plants, fungi lack chlorophyll and so can only grow as 'saprophytes' (from dead plants or animals); or as parasites (on living plants); or in a mycorrhizal relationship (symbiosis between fungi and the roots of trees).
Specific carbohydrates are hypothesized to have a key role in the transition from the parasitic to 'saprophytic' stage.
Most fungi are 'saprophytes' , feeding on dead or decaying material.
In the standard saprophytic serovars and the 'saprophytic' isolates from water sources there was no digestion with this enzyme and the original 482 bp band appeared as such in these strains.
Many of these live 'saprophytically' on dead organic matter on or in soil where they are regarded as the most important decomposers of plant residues and other organic matter.
On dung, the fungus usually appears as part of a succession of different genera, not independently, and can also live 'saprophytically' on plant remains.
Therefore, we hypothesize that these organisms lived 'saprophytically' upon sulfate-reducing bacteria, rather than feeding in the water column.
While the leaf was young and healthy, many other fungal colonists - the true 'saprophytes' (organisms living on dead or decaying matter) - remained quiescent.
Members of this genus have been recovered from a variety of habitats, but are especially common as 'saprophytes' on decaying vegetation, soils, stored food, feed products in tropical and subtropical regions.
It is a dimorphic fungus that exists 'saprophytically' in nature and has a worldwide distribution.
The three ecological groups of mushrooms are mycorrhizal, parasitic and 'saprophytic' mushrooms.
It imparts rigidity to the cell wall and is responsible for decay resistance that enables the cells to withstand the 'saprophytic' activity of organisms capable of degrading non-lignified cell walls.
