		The Labyrinthulomycetes are a group of protists that produce a network of filaments or tubes, which serve as tracks for the cells to glide along and absorb nutrients for them.
		The Labyrinthulomycetes were originally considered unusual slime moulds, although they are not very similar to the other sorts.
		The structure of their zoospores and genetic studies show them to be a primitive group of heterokonts, but their classification and treatment remains somewhat unsettled.

		Labyrinthulomycetes, a group of unicellular, obligately marine protists, comprising the thraustochytrids, aplanochytrids and labyrinthulids, are important in the marine microbial food web by virtue of their high contents of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, DHA.
		Labyrinthulomycetes and bacteria attained maximum densities at 120 m at 1° N, the former reaching 770 x 10³ cells L
		Studies on the enzymatic complex of Labyrinthulomycetes responsible for the decomposition of recalcitrant TEPS might prove to be useful in biotechnology.

		Myxomycetes (Slime molds) - usually not actual pathogens but may be aesthetically unpleasant.
		Labyrinthulomycetes (Plasmodial slime molds) - biologically more complex protists than the Myxomycetes, true pathogens represented by two genera, Polymyxa and Plasmodiophora
		Frost damage, and breakage by snow and hail

		The first person to connect the different stages of the creature was Elias Fries; even though he still considered them to be a species of fungus.
		Various other protists that form cellular aggregates such as acrasids, labyrinthulomycetes, and plasmodiophorids are traditionally included, but the formal taxon is now often restricted to the true plasmodial slime moulds and their relatives.
		Most notable are the plasmodial slime moulds or myxogastrids (also known as acellular or true slime moulds), where the feeding stage takes the form of a giant amoeba with thousands of nuclei, called a plasmodium.
