An Improved Sporulation Method for Producing Asexual Zoospores of Pythium aphanidermatum on Culture Medium [PDF]
MycobiologyAn improved sporulation method for Pythium aphanidermatum on 10% V8-juice agar was developed to generate substantial quantities of zoospores. We conducted experiments using a 4 × 4 factorial design to evaluate the effects of temperature (20, 25, 30, and ...

Pythium insidiosum-antigen enhances neutrophil-mediated killing of zoospores [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPythium insidiosum-antigen (PIA) immunotherapy has been used to treat human pythiosis. This study compared PIA-stimulated and unstimulated neutrophils on zoospore viability of P. insidiosum strains. We cultured and collected zoospores of 6 P.

Two glycoside hydrolases decompose the sporangium matrix to release spores during sporangium dehiscence in Actinoplanes missouriensis [PDF]
mBioThe actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis grows as a substrate mycelium and forms terminal sporangia containing a few hundred spores surrounded by an unidentified matrix called the sporangium matrix.

Proteome remodeling in the zoospore-to-vegetative cell transition of the stramenopile Aurantiochytrium limacinum reveals candidate ectoplasmic network proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThraustochytrids are marine protists of ecological and biotechnological importance. Like many other eukaryotes, their life cycle includes a critical transition from a flagellated, swimming zoospore dispersal stage to a settled, surface-attached, growing ...

Modified preservation and fungalysin description for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
La Granja: Revista de Ciencias de la Vida, 2022 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a pathogenic fungus causing chytridiomycosis, a cutaneous affection resulting in reduction on Anura populations around the world, because of fungalysins, the most important virulence factor. The B.

Decoding the rare diagnostic enigma of pythium insidiosum keratitis – A narrative review
TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research, 2023 Pythium insidiosum, an oomycete, is frequently referred to as a “parafungus” due to its striking similarity to fungal keratitis. Over the past 10 years, there has been a significant rise in Pythium insidiosum keratitis (PIK) cases, notably in Asia and ...
