Phytoplankton Under Pressure: Temperature, Precipitation and Cyanobacterial Blooms as Drivers of Chytrid Infections Chytrid parasites of phytoplankton infect a wide range of species, including green algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria. Infection patterns varied, indicating that chytrid occurrence is highly dynamic i...

ParAquaSeq, a Database of Ecologically Annotated rRNA Sequences Covering Zoosporic Parasites Infecting Aquatic Primary Producers in Natural and Industrial Systems Amplicon sequencing tools such as metabarcoding are commonly used for thorough characterisation of microbial diversity in natural samples. They mostly rely on the amplification of conserved universal...

This very nice collaborative work led by WG1 is now available Open Access
