Abstract

Aphelids (phylum Aphelida = Aphelidiomycota) are intracellular parasitoids of algae and represent one of the early-diverging or sister lineages of the kingdom Fungi. Although aphelids are a small group comprising four genera and 17 species, molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that numerous environmental DNA sequences represent undescribed lineages, indicating their hidden diversity. Here, we investigated a novel aphelid strain, KS114, that parasitizes selenastracean green algae. KS114 exhibited a life cycle typical of aphelids and produced posteriorly uniflagellate zoospores that resembled those of
