Chytridiomycota (zoosporic true fungi) have a consistent presence in soils and been frequently identified within many diverse terrestrial environments. However, other early-diverging fungi low representation whole-genome sequencing databases compared to Dikarya. New molecular techniques provided insights into the diversity abundance of chytrids changes their populations both spatially temporally. Chytrids complete life cycle rapidly changing soil environments where they may be more common...
The Chytridiomycota phylum contributes to nutrient cycling and the flow of energy between trophic levels in terrestrial aquatic ecosystems yet remains poorly described or absent from publications discussing fungal communities these environments. This study understanding three species soil chytrids vitro—Gaertneriomyces semiglobifer, Spizellomyces sp. Rhizophlyctis rosea—in presence elevated concentrations nitrogen phosphorus with different sources nitrogen. Colony growth was measured after 4...
Zoosporic true fungi have frequently been identified in samples from soil and freshwater ecosystems using baiting molecular techniques. In fact some species can be components of the dominant groups microorganisms particular habitats. Yet these not yet directly observed growing ecosystems. Significant physical characteristics features three-dimensional structures soils which impact at microscale level are discussed. A thorough knowledge is important for studying distribution assemblages...
As a result of anthropogenic influences and global climate change, emerging infectious marine diseases are thought to be increasingly more common severe than in the past. The aim our investigation was confirm presence Labyrinthula, aetiological agent seagrass wasting disease, Southeastern Australia provide first isolation characterisation this protist, Australia. Colonies individual cells were positively identified as Labyrinthula using published descriptions, diagrams, photographs. Their...
Abstract The phylum Labyrinthulomycota comprises diverse marine fungus-like protists that are an abundant and widespread component of the microbiota. Despite their ubiquity in ecosystems, relatively little is known about ecology any pathogenic species Labyrinthulomycota. Most thought to exist as saprobes, but many have been documented pathogens metazoans metaphytes. best studied labyrinthulomycotan pathogen molluscs Quahog Parasite Unknown (QPX), which causes mortality events both wild...
