TL;DR: This paper presents the view on the most pressing research needs for promoting the integration of chytrid fungi into aquatic ecology, and synthesizes ideas stressing the multifaceted biological relevance of phytoplanktonChytridiomycosis.

Strassert,Christian Wurzbacher,Gustavo Henrique Jerônimo,David Rabern Simmons,Kensuke Seto,Eleni Gentekaki,Vedprakash G. Hurdeal,Kevin D. Hyde,Thuong T. T. Nguyen,Hyang Burm Lee +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the taxonomy of the basal fungi is reviewed and the relationships among early-diverging lineages of fungal phyla are discussed. And a new type species, Nephridiophaga blattellae, is proposed.

TL;DR: It is shown, using the estimated heterozygosity of these genomes, that many fungal lineages have diploid-dominant life cycles (diplontic).

Diversity and Hidden Host Specificity of Chytrids Infecting Colonial Volvocacean Algae
Silke Van den Wyngaert,Keilor Rojas-Jimenez,Kensuke Seto,Maiko Kagami,Hans-Peter Grossart,Hans-Peter Grossart +5 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted that a high prevalence of (pseudo)cryptic diversity requires molecular characterization of both phytoplankton host and parasitic chytrid to accurately identify and compare host range and specificity, and to study phy Topolankton‐chytrid interactions in general.

A New Parasitic Chytrid, Staurastromyces oculus (Rhizophydiales, Staurastromycetaceae fam. nov.), Infecting the Freshwater Desmid Staurastrum sp.
Silke Van den Wyngaert,Kensuke Seto,Keilor Rojas-Jimenez,Maiko Kagami,Maiko Kagami,Hans-Peter Grossart,Hans-Peter Grossart +6 more
TL;DR: Based on the unique zoospore ultrastructure, combined with thallus morphology, and molecular phylogenetic placement, this parasitic chytrid is described as a new genus and species Staurastromyces oculus, within a new family Sturastromycetaceae.
