Scientific name for water mold?
oomycetes
How is a water mold organism defined?
Water molds are also known as oomycetes. They are microorganisms similar to fungi, but they are not classified as a fungus. These microorganisms reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Water molds scientific name?
oomycetes
What thrives on dead or decaying matter in water?
Oomycetes
What are the difference between water mold and mold growing the expired bread?
Water molds are typically oomycetes. Oomycetes are in teh calde Stramenopila. They are separated from Fungi (including bread molds) by the their use of the DAP pathway for lysine synthesis, the presence of cellulose in their cell walls, their tubular cisternae in the mitochondria, heterokont flagella on their zoospores, and lack of a Spitzenkorper in their hyphae. Fungi use the AAA pathway for lysine synthesis, have chitin in their cell walls, have plate-like cisternae in the mitochondria, a single whiplash flagellum, and use a Spitzenkorper to elongate their hyphae.
What is oomycetes phylum?
Heterokontophyta
Does bread mold move?
No.
What has the author Frederick Taylor Wolf written?
Frederick Taylor Wolf has written: 'The aquatic oomycetes of Wisconsin' -- subject(s): Flora, Fungi, Oomycetes
Why slime and water mold are not included in kingdom fungi when they resemble with fungi?
Slime molds and water molds (the oomycetes) are not in the fungal kingdom because they are separate evolutionary lineages. This is revealed by phylogenetic analyses using both molecular, morphological, and biochemical data. The kingdom Fungi is united by the presence of chitin in their cell walls, a whiplash flagellum that is oriented on the posterior of the motile cell, the synthesis of lysine using the AAA pathway, plate-like cisternae in the mitochondria, the presence of a Spitzenkorper, and the use of glycogen as a energy storage compound. Slime molds have a anterior whiplash flagella, and oomycetes (the water molds) have a tinsel and whiplash flagella that are laterally oriented. Both of them use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine and have tubular cisternae in the mitochondria. Slime molds do not have cell walls (I think), and oomycete cell walls are made of cellulose. Oomycetes use mycolaminarin as an engery sotrage compound.
What are examples of plant diseases that water molds cause?
Water molds can cause diseases such as downy mildew, pythium root rot, and phytophthora blight in plants. These diseases are characterized by symptoms such as yellowing leaves, wilting, and root decay, which can ultimately lead to plant death if left untreated. Preventive measures such as proper drainage and fungicide treatments can help manage water mold diseases in plants.
A slime mold can move like a what?
A slime mold can move like a fluid, flowing and changing shape to navigate through different environments.
Did diatom cause the Irish potato famine?
