Labyrinthula and disease symptoms. (A) Single fusiform cells of the unicellular Labyrinthulomycota Labyrinthula protist. (B) Labyrinthula cells emerging from a seagrass leaf on serum seawater agar. Cells move through colonies of self‐generated ectoplasmodic networks or ‘slimeways’, a net‐like tube within which Labyrinthula are able to move. (C) Symptoms of the seagrass wasting disease 4 days following the artificial infection of seagrass blades.
