Strategies for administration of biosurfactants-producing pseudomonads in closed hydroponic systems [PDF]
Zoospore-producing oomycetes are major plant pathogens of particular concern in hydroponic systems. Compared with pesticides, biocontrol using antagonistic microorganisms is a sustainable approach to control oomycetes.

A Myb transcription factor of Phytophthora sojae, regulated by MAP kinase PsSAK1, is required for zoospore development. [PDF]
PsSAK1, a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase from Phytophthora sojae, plays an important role in host infection and zoospore viability. However, the downstream mechanism of PsSAK1 remains unclear.

Phytophthora megakarya and Phytophthora palmivora, closely related causal agents of cacao black pod rot, underwent increases in genome sizes and gene numbers by different mechanisms [PDF]
Phytophthora megakarya (Pmeg) and Phytophthora palmivora (Ppal) are closely related species causing cacao black pod rot. Although Ppal is a cosmopolitan pathogen, cacao is the only known host of economic importance for Pmeg.

Zoosporulation of a new Perkinsus species isolated from the gills of the softshell clam Mya arenaria
A gill-associated Perkinsus sp. isolated from the softshell clam (Mya arenaria) is described as a new species, P. chesapeaki sp. nov. Examination of the parasite in seawater cultures revealed life cycle stages and zoosporulation processes similar to ...

Variation in thermal performance of a widespread pathogen, the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. [PDF]
Rates of growth and reproduction of the pathogens that cause emerging infectious diseases can be affected by local environmental conditions; these conditions can thus influence the strength and nature of disease outbreaks.

Using environmental DNA for detection of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in natural water [PDF]
Rapid, early, and reliable detection of invasive pathogenic microorganisms is essential in order to either predict or delineate an outbreak, and monitor appropriate mitigation measures. The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans is expanding in

Movements of Zoospores of Phytophthora capsici
A new photometrical device for measuring the tactic aggregation of zoospores of Phytophthora capsici Leon. is described in this paper.An annular diaphragm (×100) of Nikon phase contrast microscope was employed for dark ground illumination and reflected light intensity in the microscopic field was measured by an ordinary exposure meter for microscopic ...
