• Early diverging lineages within Cryptomycota and Chytridiomycota dominate the fungal communities in ice-covered lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica 

      Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Wurzbacher, Christian; Bourne, Elizabeth Charlotte; Chiuchiolo, Amy; Priscu, John C.; Grossart, Hans-Peter (2017-11)
      Antarctic ice-covered lakes are exceptional sites for studying the ecology of aquatic fungi under conditions of minimal human disturbance. In this study, we explored the diversity and community composition of fungi in five ...

      Chytridiomycota, often referred to as chytrids, can be virulent parasites with the potential to inflict mass mortalities on hosts, causing e.g. changes in phytoplankton size distributions and succession, and the delay or ...
