Unidentified water mold on dead larval mayfly. A culture of Achlya sp. (Saprolegniales) isolated from a stream. Sea trout suffering from UDN with secondary Saprolegnia infections. Many oomycetes species are economically important, aggressive algae and plant pathogens. [13] [14] Some species can cause disease in fish, and at least one is a ...
Pythium irregulare is a soil borne oomycete plant pathogen. [1] Oomycetes, also known as "water molds", are fungal-like protists.They are fungal-like because of their similar life cycles, but differ in that the resting stage is diploid, they have coenocytic hyphae, a larger genome, cellulose in their cell walls instead of chitin, and contain zoospores (asexual motile spores) and oospores ...
Pythium aphanidermatum is a soil borne [1] plant pathogen. Pythium is a genus in the class Oomycetes, which are also known as water molds.Oomycetes are not true fungi, as their cell walls are made of cellulose instead of chitin, they are diploid in their vegetative state, and they form coenocytic hyphae (lacking crosswalls).

Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete or water mold, a fungus-like microorganism that causes the serious potato and tomato disease known as late blight or potato blight. Early blight, caused by Alternaria solani, is also often called "potato blight".
This category contains valid oomycete ("water mould") species names. Alternate names (i.e. junior synonyms) are not included here. Italicized entries are articles about species in monotypic genera; these are redirected to their appropriate genus article.
Pythiales is an order of water-molds . Some species of this order are the causative agents of several economically important plant diseases, such as potato blight . References
Phytophthora (from Greek φυτόν (phytón), "plant" and φθορά (phthorá), "destruction"; "the plant-destroyer") is a genus of plant-damaging oomycetes (water molds), whose member species cause economic losses on crops worldwide, as well as environmental damage in natural ecosystems. The cell wall of Phytophthora is made up of cellulose.
Saprolegnia, like most oomycetes, is both a saprotroph and necrotroph. Typically feeding on waste from fish or other dead cells, they will also take advantage of creatures that have been injured.
