  • Mass Flow in Hyphae of the Oomycete Achlya Bisexualis
    Mass flow in hyphae of the oomycete Achlya bisexualis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology in the University of Canterbury by Mona Bidanjiri University of Canterbury 2018 Abstract Oomycetes and fungi grow in a polarized manner through the process of tip growth. This is a complex process, involving extension at the apex of the cell and the movement of the cytoplasm forward, as the tip extends. The mechanisms that underlie this growth are not clearly understood, but it is thought that the process is driven by the tip yielding to turgor pressure. Mass flow, the process where bulk flow of material occurs down a pressure gradient, may play a role in tip growth moving the cytoplasm forward. This has previously been demonstrated in mycelia of the oomycete Achlya bisexualis and in single hypha of the fungus Neurospora crassa. Microinjected silicone oil droplets were observed to move in the predicted direction after the establishment of an imposed pressure gradient. In order to test for mass flow in a single hypha of A. bisexualis the work in this thesis describes the microinjection of silicone oil droplets into hyphae. Pressure gradients were imposed by the addition of hyperosmotic and hypoosmotic solutions to the hyphae. In majority of experiments, after both hypo- and hyperosmotic treatments, the oil droplets moved down the imposed gradient in the predicted direction. This supports the existence of mass flow in single hypha of A. bisexualis. The Hagen-Poiseuille equation was used to calculate the theoretical rate of mass flow occurring within the hypha and this was compared to observed rates.

Corresponding author: C. Hanjavanit, [email protected] Abstract. Water mold-infected Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from cultured net cages along the Nam Phong River, Khon Kaen Province, northeast Thailand, were collected from September 2010 to August 2011. The 34 obtained water mold isolates belonged to the genus Achlya and were identified as Achlya bisexualis, A. diffusa, A. klebsiana, A. prolifera and unidentified species of Achlya. Isolates of A. bisexualis and A. diffusa were the most abundant (35%), followed by the unidentified species of Achlya (18%) and then, A. klebsiana and A. prolifera (6% each). The ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of the unidentified isolates was sequenced for phylogenetic analysis. Three out of 6 isolates were indicated to be A. dubia (BKKU1005), A. bisexualis (BKKU1009 and BKKU1134), and other 3 out of 6 isolates (BKKU1117, BKKU 1118 and BKKU1127) will be an as-yet unidentified species of Achlya.

  • Phylogenetic Studies of Saprolegniomycetidae and Related Groups Based on Nuclear Large Subunit Ribosomal DNA Sequences
    1790 Phylogenetic studies of Saprolegniomycetidae and related groups based on nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences Alexandra Riethmüller, Michael Weiß, and Franz Oberwinkler Abstract: To reveal phylogenetic relationships within the Peronosporomycetes (Oomycetes), we sequenced a part of the nuclear rDNA coding for the ribosomal large subunit of 46 Peronosporomycetes species and one representative of the Xanthophyta. The main emphasis of our study was put on the phylogenetic relationships within the Saprolegniomycetidae. We supplemented our data with a sequence of Phytophthora megasperma Drechsler from GenBank. Two sets of sequences were analysed using the neighbor-joining method, statistically supported by the bootstrap method, as well as the maximum parsimony method. Our results are well compatible with the tripartite subclassification of the Peronosporomycetes into Saprolegniomycetidae, Rhipidiomycetidae and Peronosporomycetidae, as well as with the placement of the orders Saprolegniales and Leptomitales in the Saprolegniomycetidae. Pachymetra chaunorhiza Croft & Dick, which has been placed in the Sclerosporales, was grouped within the Saprolegniales. Within the Peronosporomycetidae, the orders Peronosporales and Pythiales could not be separated. There are indications that Phytophthora de Bary and the Peronosporales form a common natural group. The genus Achlya Nees proved to be a heterogeneous group. Key words: peronosporomycetes systematics, oomycetes systematics, stramenopiles, large subunit rDNA, 28S, molecular phylogeny.

Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andreas Makiola Lincoln University, New Zealand 2019 General abstract Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale processes that shape plant pathogen communities. The recent drop in DNA sequencing costs offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study multiple plant pathogens simultaneously in their naturally occurring environment effectively at large scale. In this thesis, my aims were (1) to employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) based metabarcoding for the detection and identification of plant pathogens at the ecosystem scale in New Zealand, (2) to characterise plant pathogen communities, and (3) to determine the environmental drivers of these communities. First, I investigated the suitability of NGS for the detection, identification and quantification of plant pathogens using rust fungi as a model system.

  • Pathogenicity and Oxidative Stress in Nile Tilapia Caused by Aphanomyces Laevis and Phoma Herbarum Isolated from Farmed Fish
    Vol. 94: 17–28, 2011 DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published March 16 doi: 10.3354/dao02290 Dis Aquat Org Pathogenicity and oxidative stress in Nile tilapia caused by Aphanomyces laevis and Phoma herbarum isolated from farmed fish Esam H. Ali1,*, Mohamed Hashem1, M. Bassam Al-Salahy2 1Botany Department, and 2Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt ABSTRACT: Identified (n = 17) and unidentified (n = 1) fish-pathogenic fungal species from 10 gen- era of Oomycetes and soil fungi were isolated from 40 infected freshwater fish samples of the species Oreochromis niloticus niloticus (Nile tilapia) and Clarias gariepinus (African catfish). Samples were collected from various fish farms in the Nile Delta, Egypt. Nile tilapia were tested in aquaria for their susceptibility to the commonest Oomycetes species, Aphanomyces laevis and Achlya klebsiana, and also against the 2 most prevalent pathogenic soil fungi, Paecilomyces lilacinus and Phoma herbarum. Two techniques were used: water bath exposure and intramuscular (subcutaneous) injection. Water bath exposure to the 2 species of Oomycetes caused greater mortalities of O. niloticus niloticus than intramuscular injection, but the reverse was true of the soil fungal species. Regardless of the infection method, the 2 Oomycetes species were more potent pathogens than the soil fungal species. In both gills and mytomal muscles of fish infected by A. laevis and P. herbarum, we measured and compared with controls the oxidative stress parameters total peroxide (TP), lipid peroxidation (LPO) and nitric oxide (NO), as well as levels of the antioxidants vitamin E and glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dis- mutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities.
