Alexander Braun
Alexander Carl Heinrich Braun (10 May 1805 – 29 March 1877) was a German botanist from Regensburg, Bavaria. His research centered on the morphology of plants and was a very influential teacher who worked as a professor of botany at the universities of Freiburg, Giessen, and Berlin at various times. He was also the director of the Berlin Botanical Garden. Biography Braun was born in Regensburg (Ratisbon) where his father Alexander was a tax inspector in the postal department. His mother Henriette was the daughter of a priest and mathematics professor. He studied at Karlsruhe and Freiburg (Breisgau) where his father was transferred. He went to the University of Heidelberg to study medicine. His teachers included Gottlieb Wilhelm Bischoff, Johann Heinrich Dierbach and Franz Joseph Schelver. At Heidelberg he studied with Louis Agassiz, Carl Schimper and George Engelmann. Agassiz would marry Braun's sister Cecilie while Schimper was engaged briefly to Braun's sister Emilie. H ...

Chytridiales
Fungi of the order Chytridiales, like other members of its division, may either have a monocentric thallus or a polycentric rhizomycelium. When the ribosomal genes of members classified in this order were first examined using molecular techniques, it was discovered that the order contained some species that were not related. With the culture and characterization of '' Chytridium olla'', the type species of this order, the limits of the Chytridiales were established. The Chytridiales is now monophyletic In biological cladistics for the classification of organisms, monophyly is the condition of a taxonomic grouping being a clade – that is, a grouping of organisms which meets these criteria: # the grouping contains its own most recent co ... and species such as '' Polychytrium aggregatum'', '' Chytriomyces angularis'' and '' Cladochytrium replicatum'' have been transferred to other orders.

Crithidia
''Crithidia'' is a genus of trypanosomatid Euglenozoa. They are parasites that exclusively parasitise arthropods, mainly insects. They pass from host to host as cysts in infective faeces and typically, the parasites develop in the digestive tracts of insects and interact with the intestinal epithelium using their flagellum. They display very low host-specificity and a single parasite can infect a large range of invertebrate hosts. At different points in its life-cycle, it passes through amastigote, promastigote, and epimastigote phases; the last is particularly characteristic, and similar stages in other trypanosomes are often called crithidial. The etymology of the genus name ''Crithidia'' derives from the Ancient Greek word (), meaning "small grain of barley". Species * ''Crithidia bombi'' is a well documented species, notable for being a parasite of various bumblebee species, including common species like ''Bombus terrestris'', ''Bombus muscorum'', and ''Bombus hortorum'' ...

Olpidium
''Olpidium'' is a fungi, fungal genus in the family Olpidiaceae. Members of ''Olpidium'' are zoospore, zoosporic pathogens of plants, animals, fungi, and oomycetes. Morphology ''Olpidium'' species exist as spherical zoosporangia inside the cells of their host. Zoospores emerge from a single discharge tube and have a single, posterior whiplash flagellum. Resting spores can be smooth or ornamented. Ecology ''Olpidium'' species infect a wide variety of plants, animals, protists, and fungi and are fairly common in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Most of what is known about the genus comes from those species that infect higher plants, especially crops. In higher plants, infection with ''Olpidium'' often causes little to no symptoms. An exception is ''Olpidium viciae'', which causes broadbean blister. However, ''Olpidium'' species can vector plant viruses. For example, ''Olpidium brassicae'' transmits big-vein virus and big-vein associated varicosavirus among lettuce plants, and ...
