Changes to Skin Microbiome Community Dynamics Support Resistance to Enzootic and Epizootic Strains of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in the Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Global spread of animal pathogens has contributed to species declines and extinctions. In regions where a particular disease is enzootic, pathogen inhibition may arise through protection provided by host‐associated microbiomes. Amphibians skin microbiomes can inhibit growth of the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), preventing

Single‐Thallus Genomics of Ejectosporus trisporus, an Unculturable Stonefly Gut Fungal Symbiont

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Single‐thallus genomic sequencing of Ejectosporus trisporus, an unculturable gut fungus from a winter stonefly, provides the first genomic resource for an unculturable trichomycete and insights into gut symbiont diversity. ABSTRACT Microorganisms play essential roles in global ecosystems, yet much of their diversity, particularly among fungi, remains ...

Fungi Associated With Freshwater Zooplankton Are Taxon‐Specific, Temporally Dynamic and Reflect Allochthonous Inputs

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The associations between microbes and planktonic invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems are considered key ecological interactions. However, our understanding of the structure, taxonomic specificity, and environmental drivers of zooplankton microbiomes remains poor.

First Report of Marinomyxa spp. (Rhizaria: Endomyxa: Phytomyxea) Infection in Seagrasses Halophila beccarii and Halophila decipiens: Supporting Evidence for a Long‐Standing Symbiosis

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
A survey of phytomyxid parasites in seagrasses of the genus Halophila reveals previously unrecognised diversity and a widespread presence of Marinomyxa within Halophila meadows, supporting a tight co‐evolutionary relationship between the two genera. ABSTRACT Marinomyxa is a genus of obligate intracellular parasitic protists known to infect tropical ...

Purification of a naturally produced, low molecular weight organic factor that reversibly blocks encystment of Blastocladiella emersonii zoospores.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1985
The water mold Blastocladiella emersonii releases zoospore maintenance factor into the medium during zoosporogenesis. Extracellular factor mediates a reversible developmental block that maintains the motile, cell wall-less zoospore phenotype. A method for purifying the factor is reported that results in 75-120% recovery of biological activity. Analyses

Impacts of Biostimulants on Nitrous Oxide Emissions and the Soil Microbiome

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 2, Page 216-229, April 2026.
Soil incubation experiment examining the influence of biostimulants on greenhouse gas emissions and the soil microbiome in fertilized soils. ABSTRACT Background Overapplication of nitrogenous fertilizer and enhanced microbial activity in agricultural soils are drivers of increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

Cigarette butts enable toxigenic cyanobacteria growth by inhibiting their lethal fungal infections

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Cigarette butts (CBs), of which around 4.5 trillion are discarded annually, are one of the most common types of litter worldwide. CBs contain various chemicals, including metals, nicotine, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which can leach into water ...

Temperature Variability and Salt Pollution Interact to Alter Subsequent Multi‐Parasite Susceptibility in Larval Amphibians

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Wild populations face unprecedented pressure from an assortment of anthropogenic environmental changes and parasites. We sought to understand how host–parasite interactions are affected by the interactive effects of multiple environmental stressors and subsequent parasite infection.

Impacts of sequential and simultaneous coinfection by major amphibian pathogens on disease outcomes

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract In natural environments, hosts frequently experience infections from multiple pathogenic species or strains, significantly influencing disease dynamics. Despite shared susceptible hosts and overlapping distributions, the impacts of coinfections by the two most threatening global amphibian pathogens, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and ...
