Glucans of Oomycete Cell Walls
Science, 1967The cell walls of selected oomycetous fungi are composed primarily of glucans, and cellulose constitutes a relatively small proportion of the total glucan. The noncellulosic constituents consist of acid-soluble glucan or glucans and insoluble glucan or glucans. These noncellulosic glucan fractions contain β-(1→3) glucosidic linkages and apparently β-(1→

The Mammalian Pathogenic Oomycetes
Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2013The oomycetes are fungal-like microbes similar to those found within some members of the kingdom Fungi. Although these two groups of microbes share morphological features, there are several contrasting differences: a) phylogenetic analysis placed the oomycetes basal to plants and green algae; b) oomycetes lack ergosterol in their cytoplasmic membrane ...

The evolutionary phylogeny of the oomycete “fungi”
Protoplasma, 2011Molecular sequencing has helped resolve the phylogenetic relationships amongst the diverse groups of algal, fungal-like and protist organisms that constitute the Chromalveolate "superkingdom" clade. It is thought that the whole clade evolved from a photosynthetic ancestor and that there have been at least three independent plastid losses during their ...

Mechanisms and Evolution of Virulence in Oomycetes
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2012Many destructive diseases of plants and animals are caused by oomycetes, a group of eukaryotic pathogens important to agricultural, ornamental, and natural ecosystems. Understanding the mechanisms underlying oomycete virulence and the genomic processes by which those mechanisms rapidly evolve is essential to developing effective long-term control ...

Oomycetes, effectors, and all that jazz
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2012Plant pathogenic oomycetes secrete a diverse repertoire of effector proteins that modulate host innate immunity and enable parasitic infection. Understanding how effectors evolve, translocate and traffic inside host cells, and perturb host processes are major themes in the study of oomycete-plant interactions.

Metabolic Diversity and Novelties in the Oomycetes
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2017The eukaryotic microbes called oomycetes include many important saprophytes and pathogens, with the latter exhibiting necrotrophy, biotrophy, or obligate biotrophy. Understanding oomycete metabolism is fundamental to understanding these lifestyles.

Oomycetes are descendants of algal-like microorganisms with a natural predisposition to parasitism. They have very specialist adaptations which allow them to infect and kill countless species of plants, many of whom are important food and cash crops. Their asexual progeny, zoospores, show interesting kinetic behavior which may aid their survival in the
