oomicetos
Scope note: Grupo de ALGAS, previamente consideradas HONGOS, cuyo exacto nivel taxonómico no está establecido. Muchos consideran a Oomycetes (Oomycota), un filo del reino Stramenopila o, alternativamente, como Pseudofungi del filo Heterokonta del reino Chromista. Son morfológicamente similares a los hongos pero no tienen estrecha relación filogenética con ellos. Los oomicetos se encuentran tanto en el agua dulce como salada así como en medioambientes terrestres. (Alexopoulos et al., Introductory Mycology, 4th ed, pp683-4). Producen esporas(zoosporas) flageladas, con movilidad activa, que son patógenas para muchos cultivos vegetales y PECES.

Scope note: Eukaryotes in the group STRAMENOPILES, formerly considered FUNGI, whose exact taxonomic level is unsettled. Many consider Oomycetes (Oomycota) a phylum in the kingdom Stramenopila, or alternatively, as Pseudofungi in the phylum Heterokonta of the kingdom Chromista. They are morphologically similar to fungi but have no close phylogenetic relationship to them. Oomycetes are found in both fresh and salt water as well as in terrestrial environments. (Alexopoulos et al., Introductory Mycology, 4th ed, pp683-4). They produce flagellated, actively motile spores (zoospores) that are pathogenic to many crop plants and FISHES.
