TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed cell wall analysis in 10 species from two major oomycete orders, the Peronosporales and the Saprolegniales, has been conducted, revealing the existence of three clearly different cell wall types: type I is devoid of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) but contains glucuronic acid and mannose; type II contains up to 5% GlcNAC and residues indicative of cross-links between cellulose and 1,3-β-glucans; type III is

TL;DR: A detailed cell wall analysis in 10 species from 2 major oomycete orders, the Peronosporales and the Saprolegniales, thereby unveiling the existence of 3 clearly different cell wall types, which are distinguished by their cellulose content and the fine structure of their 1,3-β-glucans.

TL;DR: GenBank represents the main source of errors for identifying Saprolegnia species since it possesses sequences with misassigned names and also sequencing errors, which might help setting the basis for a suitable identification of species in this economically important genus.

TL;DR: The presence of two isolates of the coral reef pathogen A. sydowii, as well as 16 additional species that are potentially pathogenic to corals, alert us to the potential risk to the health and future survival of the Pacific Ecuadorian coral ecosystem under the current scenario of increasing threats and stressors to coral reefs.

TL;DR: There is the first evidence that rainbow trout may have a direct negative effect on Neotropical amphibian populations, and thus should be considered a threat.
