Cover Story: Chytrids have been isolated and described from diverse soil environments, performing functional roles as decomposers and parasites. Next-generation sequencing technologies reveal high chytrid abundances in polar and high-elevation soils as well as soil pores and aggregates. However, they are still under-represented in genome databases. Chytrid rhizoids exhibit spatial regulation of branching and attach to favorable substrates. Sporulation is sensitive to nutrient concentrations. Lipid-rich zoospores rapidly disperse and contribute to energy transfer and soil food web complexity. Identification of chytrid enzymes with biotechnological applications highlights their potential contributions. Continual research would help discern the unique functions and ecologies of these discreet “dark matter” fungi. View this paper

  • Jesús Alba-Fernández and
  • Jose Miguel Sequí-Canet

Excessive noise pollution is often a problem for neonatal nurseries. Noise pollution involves not only noise but also vibrations. The main difference between them is that noise can be heard, and vibrations are felt. The human ear cannot detect waves...
