Chytridiomycete asexual reproduction
Chytrids are quite distinct from other fungi as they have extremely simple thalli and motile zoospores. Species within this group are very simple in structure and may only consist of a single cell, perhaps with rhizoids to anchor it on to a substrate.
Asexual reproduction in the chytrids is by the production of motile zoospores, with a single, posterior flagellum, in sporangia (Fig. 2). There will be a film of chytrid reproduction available in the practical.
