Necroxime is a group of strong chemicals that can kill worm-like parasites called nematodes. These chemicals are special because they aren't made by fungi alone. Instead, they come from a unique partnership between fungi and bacteria. The bacteria, from the Mycoavidus group (especially Candidatus Mycoavidus necroximicus), live inside the threads of certain soil fungi like Mortierella species.
