Collimonas is a genus of bacteria in the family Oxalobacteraceae.[2] 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 .[3][4][5][6]
To date, 6 species have been described Collimonas fungivorans, Collimonas pratensis, Collimonas arenae, Collimonas antrihumi, Collimonas humicola, Collimonas silvisoli.[7][8][9][10]
