Phylogenomics including new sequence data of phytoplankton-infecting chytrids reveals multiple independent lifestyle transitions across the phylum

P. C. Thome, J. Wolinska, S. Van Den Wyngaert, A. Rene, D. Ilicic, R. Agha, H.-P. Grossart, E. Garces, M. T. Monaghan, J. F. H. Strassert

This study uses phylogenomic data from new and existing sequences to show multiple independent transitions between parasitism and saprotrophy in chytrids, with the last common ancestor being a phytoplankton parasite.

Single cell genomics reveals plastid-lacking Picozoa are close relatives of red algae

M. E. Schön, V. V. Zlatogursky, R. P. Singh, C. Poirier, S. Wilken, V. Mathur, J. F. H. Strassert, J. Pinhassi, A. Z. Worden, P. J. Keeling, T. J. G. Ettema, J. G. Wideman, F. Burki

The paper uses single-cell genomics and phylogenomics to show Picozoa are closely related to red algae but lack plastids, challenging existing views on plastid evolution.

Long rDNA amplicon sequencing of insect-infecting nephridiophagids reveals their affiliation to the Chytridiomycota (Fungi) and a potential to switch between hosts

J. F. H. Strassert, C. Wurzbacher, V. Herve, T. Antany, A. Brune, R. Radek

The paper uses long-read rDNA sequencing to classify nephridiophagids as Chytridiomycota fungi and shows host-switching potential.

A molecular timescale for the origin of red algal-derived plastids

J. F. H. Strassert, I. Irisarri, T. A. Williams, F. Burki

The paper establishes a timeframe for the origin of red algal-derived plastids using phylogenomic data and molecular clock analyses, showing that serial endosymbiosis hypotheses are chronologically possible.
