Collimonas Explained

Collimonas is a genus of bacteria in the family Oxalobacteraceae.^[1] Culturable representatives of this genus have the ability to lyse chitin, to use fungal hyphae as a source of food, to produce antifungal molecules and to be effective at weathering .^{[2] [3] [4] [5]}

To date, 6 species have been described Collimonas fungivorans, Collimonas pratensis, Collimonas arenae, Collimonas antrihumi, Collimonas humicola, Collimonas silvisoli.^{[6] [7] [8] [9]}
