Single-cell genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics of Rhizophydium megarrhizum, an obligate fungal parasite of Planktothrix agardhii
The first comparative genomic analysis of multiple isolates of a single chytrid species infecting the cyanobacterium Planktothrix agardhii is presented, suggesting that chytrids consistently express high levels of cytoskeletal genes, alongside numerous hypothetical proteins, and that zoospores may upregulate carbohydrate-binding proteins implicated in host recognition.
