Characteristics of monolayer formation in vitro by the chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Biofilm, 2019 Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a globally distributed generalist pathogen that has driven many amphibian populations to extinction. The life cycle of B. dendrobatidis has two main cell types, motile zoospores, and sessile reproductive sporangia.

Oomycete Plant Pathogens Use Electric Fields to Target Roots
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002 Plant roots generate electrical currents and associated electrical fields as a consequence of electrogenic ion transport at the root surface. Here we demonstrate that the attraction of swimming zoospores of oomycete plant pathogens to plant roots is ...

Invasive African clawed frogs in California: A reservoir for or predator against the chytrid fungus?
PLoS ONE, 2018 Amphibian species are experiencing population declines due to infection by the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), an asymptomatic carrier of Bd, has been implicated in the spread of this ...

PLoS ONE, 2014 Amphibians vary in their response to infection by the amphibian-killing chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Highly susceptible species are the first to decline and/or disappear once Bd arrives at a site.

Moving with purpose: kelp zoospore motility governs encounters, settlement, and early recruitment
Frontiers in Marine ScienceKelp forests depend on the successful settlement of microscopic zoospores, the motile dispersal stage of the kelp life cycle. Settlement begins with arrival at a surface and culminates in stable attachment through adhesive contact and curing.

Communications BiologyZoospores of the filamentous actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis swim vigorously using flagella and stop swimming to initiate germination in response to nutrient exposure. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying swimming cessation remain unknown.
