• A Salinity Threshold Separating Fungal Communities in the Baltic Sea 

      Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Rieck, Angelika; Wurzbacher, Christian; Jürgens, Klaus; Labrenz, Matthias; Grossart, Hans-Peter (2019)
      Salinity is a significant factor for structuring microbial communities, but little is known for aquatic fungi, particularly in the pelagic zone of brackish ecosystems. In this study, we explored the diversity and composition ...
    • Early diverging lineages within Cryptomycota and Chytridiomycota dominate the fungal communities in ice-covered lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica 

      Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Wurzbacher, Christian; Bourne, Elizabeth Charlotte; Chiuchiolo, Amy; Priscu, John C.; Grossart, Hans-Peter (2017-11)
      Antarctic ice-covered lakes are exceptional sites for studying the ecology of aquatic fungi under conditions of minimal human disturbance. In this study, we explored the diversity and community composition of fungi in five ...
    • Fungi in aquatic ecosystems 

      Grossart, Hans-Peter; Wyngaert, Silke Van den; Kagami, Maiko; Wurzbacher, Christian; Cunliffe, Michael; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo (2019-03)
      Fungi are phylogenetically and functionally diverse ubiquitous components of almost all ecosystems on Earth, including aquatic environments stretching from high montane lakes down to the deep ocean. Aquatic ecosystems, ...
    • Integrating chytrid fungal parasites into plankton ecology: research gaps and needs 

      Frenken, Thijs; Alacid, Elisabet; Berger, Stella A.; Bourne, Elizabeth Charlotte; Gerphagnon, Mélanie; Grossart, Hans-Peter; Gsell, Alena S.; Ibelings, Bas W.; Kagami, Maiko; Küpper, Frithjof C.; Letcher, Peter M.; Loyau, Adeline; Miki, Takeshi; Nejstgaard, Jens C.; Rasconi, Serena; Reñé, Albert; Rohrlack, Thomas; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Schmeller, Dirk S.; Scholz, Bettina; Seto, Kensuke; Sime Ngando, Télesphore; Sukenik, Assaf; Van de Waal, Dedmer B.; Van den Wyngaert, Silke; Van Donk, Ellen; Wolinska, Justyna; Wurzbacher, Christian; Agha, Ramsy (2017-06-15)
      Chytridiomycota, often referred to as chytrids, can be virulent parasites with the potential to inflict mass mortalities on hosts, causing e.g. changes in phytoplankton size distributions and succession, and the delay or ...
    • Pilze in aquatischen Ökosystemen 

      Grossart, Hans-Peter; Wyngaert, Silke Van den; Kagami, Maiko; Wurzbacher, Christian; Cunliffe, Michael; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo (2020-06)
      Pilze sind phylogenetisch und funktionell vielfältige, allgegenwärtige Bestandteile fast aller Ökosysteme der Erde, einschließlich aquatischer Ökosysteme, die sich von hochmontanen Seen bis in den tiefen Ozean erstrecken. ...
    • Seasonality of parasitic and saprotrophic zoosporic fungi: linking sequence data to ecological traits 

      Van den Wyngaert, Silke; Ganzert, Lars; Seto, Kensuke; Rojas Jiménez, Keilor Osvaldo; Agha, Ramsy; Berger, Stella A.; Woodhouse, Jason Nicholas; Padisak, Judit; Wurzbacher, Christian; Kagami, Maiko; Grossart, Hans-Peter (2022-06-28)
      Zoosporic fungi of the phylum Chytridiomycota (chytrids) regularly dominate pelagic fungal communities in freshwater and marine environments. Their lifestyles range from obligate parasites to saprophytes. Yet, linking the ...
