Description:

Photographer: Pascale van Rooij. Description: English: Lifecycle of Batrachochytrium species in culture. In culture Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis continues the life cycle stages A–E, while in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans additional life cycle stages B1-B2 are observed: (A) flagellated motile zoospores; (B) encysted zoospore; (B1) germling with germtube; (B2) transfer of the cell contents into a newly formed thallus; (C) zoospore cyst with rhizoids; (D) immature sporangium; (E) mature monocentric zoosporangium with discharge tube (at the right), colonial thallus containing several sporangia, each with their own discharge tube (at the left).Deutsch: Lebenszyklus der Arten von Batrachochytrium in vitro. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis durchläuft nur die Entwicklungsstadien A–E, während bei Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans zusätzlich die Stadien B1-B2 vorkommen: (A) begeißelte bewegliche Zoospore; (B) eingekapselte Zoospore; (B1) Zoospore in der Entwicklung; (B2) Übertragung des Zelleninhalts in einen neuen Thallus; (C) Zoospore mit Rhizoid; (D) unreifes Sporangium; (E) reifes monozentrisches Sporangium entlässt Zoosporen durch einen einzigen Schlauch (rechts), kolonienbildender Thallus mit mehreren Sporangien, jedes mit eigenem Schlauch (links).
