Maullinia is a genus of intracellular, protistan parasites that infect brown algae (Phaeophyceae).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Distribution

Maullinia has been found in brown macroalgae across the Southern Hemisphere, including Chile, the Falkland Islands, Australia, New Zealand and various sub-Antarctic islands.[5][7] Based on genetic evidence, Maullinia have likely been dispersed widely via transport inside of buoyant rafts of southern bull kelp.[5][7][8]

Description

Yellow galls caused by Maullinia infections in two fronds southern bull kelp

Maullinia infections have been found in filamentous brown algae such Ectocarpus siliculosus and Acinetospora,[1][3] as well as in macroalgae including Macrocystis, Desmarestia, southern bull-kelp.[3][5][7] Maullinia can cause yellow galls to develop (0.5 - 4.0 cm in diameter).[3][5][7][8]
