Definition of saprophyte in English:

saprophyte

noun ˈsaprə(ʊ)fʌɪtˈsæprəˌfaɪt

Biology

A plant, fungus, or microorganism that lives on dead or decaying organic matter.
〔生〕腐生植物；腐生菌；腐物寄生物
Example sentencesExamples
- While the leaf was young and healthy, many other fungal colonists - the true saprophytes (organisms living on dead or decaying matter) - remained quiescent.
- 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).
- 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.
- Mucor, a fungus from the class of Zygomycetes, is a ubiquitous saprophyte that resides in soil and decaying organic matter.
- Most fungi are saprophytes, feeding on dead or decaying material.

Biology

The three ecological groups of mushrooms are mycorrhizal, parasitic and saprophytic mushrooms.
Example sentencesExamples
- Since then, there have been other reports describing various saprophytic fungal organisms in cultures from allergic mucin.
- 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.
- Specific carbohydrates are hypothesized to have a key role in the transition from the parasitic to saprophytic stage.
- 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.

saprophytically

adverb

Biology

Therefore, we hypothesize that these organisms lived saprophytically upon sulfate-reducing bacteria, rather than feeding in the water column.
Example sentencesExamples
- As these hosts die, the fungus acts saprophytically to utilize the food substrates contained in them.
- 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.
- It is a dimorphic fungus that exists saprophytically in nature and has a worldwide distribution.
- On dung, the fungus usually appears as part of a succession of different genera, not independently, and can also live saprophytically on plant remains.
