Aplanochytrium kerguelensis gen. nov. spec. nov., a new phycomycete from subantarctic marine waters

A new monocentric marine fungus, Aplanochytrium kerguelensis gen. nov. spec. nov., was recovered from water samples taken in the vicinity of the Kerguelen Islands in the South Indian Ocean during a cruise of the research vessel USNS “Eltanin”. Aplanochytrium is very similar to Thraustochytrium Sparr...

Description
Summary:A new monocentric marine fungus, Aplanochytrium kerguelensis gen. nov. spec. nov., was recovered from water samples taken in the vicinity of the Kerguelen Islands in the South Indian Ocean during a cruise of the research vessel USNS “Eltanin”. Aplanochytrium is very similar to Thraustochytrium Sparrow (1936) in having a chytrid-like thallus and in being able to utilize pine pollen as a substrate to which it establishes contact by well-developed rhizoids. At maturity, however, only aplanospores are formed, as in Dermocystidium sensu Goldstein and Moriber (1966).
