Community survey for phytopathogen resources
FungiDB and Ensembl are teaming up to enhance resources for fungal and oomycete plant pathogen research - a collaboration funded by the BBSRC.
We need feedback from the phytopathogen community to help shape which genomes and functional datasets we prioritise.
Please provide your input by completing our short community survey by November 1, 2025:

Sphaeroforma arctica JP610 (GCA_001186125.1) (Spha_arctica_JP610_V1)

About Sphaeroforma arctica JP610

Sphaeroforma arctica, is a unicellular eukaryote with a pivotal position in the tree of life. It was first isolated from the arctic marine amphipod Gammarus setosus. Like other Ichthyosporeans such as Creolimax and Abeoforma, Sphaeroforma arctica are spherical cells characterized with their capacity to grow into multi-nucleated coenocytes (multi-nucleates cell). However, a unique feature of S. arctica, is that no obvious budding, hyphal, amoeboid, sporal or flagellated growth stages have been observed in laboratory growth conditions.
