A genome sequence assembly of the phototactic and optogenetic model fungus Blastocladiella emersonii reveals a diversified nucleotide-cyclase repertoire

The chytrid fungus Blastocladiella emersonii produces spores with swimming tails (zoospores); these cells can sense and swim toward light. Interest in this species stems from ongoing efforts to develop B. emersonii as a model for understanding the evolution of phototaxis and the molecular cell biolo...
