Spizellomyces punctatus
1980Summary
Spizellomyces punctatus is a chytrid fungus living in soil. It is a saprotrophic fungus that colonizes decaying plant material. Being an early diverging fungus, S. punctatus retains ancestral cellular features that are also found in animals and amoebae. Its pathogenic relatives, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and B. salamandrivorans, infect amphibians and cause global biodiversity loss. The pure culture of S. punctatus was first obtained by Koch (named Phlyctochytrium punctatum)....read more on Wikipedia.
