The project, titled "PURSUIT: BIODIVERSITY EXPLORATION AND PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS OF THE ZOOSPORIC FUNGAL PHYLUM BLASTOCLADIOMYCOTA", aims to discover new species and taxonomically revise five major lineages of aquatic fungi called Blastocladiomycota. This will be accomplished through integrating single-cell genomics, microscopic observations, and environmental DNA approaches. The project will also provide training for a postdoctoral fellow and graduate student and conduct outreach activities such as a workshop and teaching module focused on these fungi. No subawards are planned for this grant.
