Blastocladiomycota was originally the order Blastocladiales within the phylum Chytridiomycota until molecular and zoospore ultrastructural characters were used to demonstrate it was not monophyletic with Chytridiomycota. (wikipedia.org)
Alternatively, members of Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota, and Neocallimastigomycota lumped together as the zoosporic true fungi. (wikipedia.org)
Similar to Chytridiomycota, members of Blastocladiomycota produce asexual zoospores to colonize new substrates. (wikipedia.org)
The next divergence leads to the phylum Blastocladiomycota and Chytridiomycota, which are free-living saprobes or parasitoids [ 10 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Fungi1
Blastocladiomycota is one of the currently recognized phyla within the kingdom Fungi. (wikipedia.org)
Glomeromycota1
We further question the introduction of separate phyla for Glomeromycota and Blastocladiomycota, whose phylogenetic positions relative to other phyla remain unresolved even with genome-level datasets. (biomedcentral.com)
Chytrids1
Accordingly, members of Blastocladiomycota are often referred to colloquially as "chytrids. (wikipedia.org)
