Amphibian mucus triggers a developmental transition in the frog-killing chytrid fungus

K. A. Robinson, S. M. Prostak, E. H. C. Grant, L. Fritz-Laylin

This study shows that amphibian mucus triggers rapid encystation in the frog-killing fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, involving surface adhesion, calcium signaling, and actin cytoskeleton modulation.
