LABYRINTHOMORPHA LINKS
| This system is a modification of Margulis and Schwartz (1988, 1998) and Porter (1990). |
CLASS LABYRINTHOMORPHEA
- Hyaline ectoplasm in form of slime channels within which spindle-shaped cells move; mainly from marine algae and grasses, sometimes as parasites, 1 freshwater species.
- ORDER LABYRINTHALES.
- Labyrinthula, Labyrinthuloides, Labyrinthulomyxa, Labyrinthorhiza.
CLASS THRAUSTOCHYTRIDEA
- Parasitic; body mass on surface of decaying or living plant tissue, producing rhizoidal system which penetrates host tissue for nourishment.
- ORDER THRAUSTOCHYTRIDIALES.
- Thraustochytrium, Japonochytrium, Schizochytrium, Aplanochytrium.
