		The saprophytic oomycetes (water molds) may be important intermediates in the transfer of these nutrients from salmon carcasses to caddisfly larvae.
		Stable isotope studies showed that oomycetes obtain most of their nutrients from salmon carcasses and caddisfly larvae in salmon bearing streams also are enriched with these marine derived nutrients.
		Oomycetes from the family Leptomitacea (order Leptomitales) were identified as being the primary mold associated with salmon carcasses in this study.

	Oomycete (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Oomycetes or "water molds" are a group of organisms that physically resemble fungi.Until recently, they were even considered a type of fungus.
		Unlike fungi,however, the cell walls of oomycetes are composed of cellulose instead of chitin and they do not have cell septations.
		The oomycetes are economically and scientifically important because they are aggressive plant pathogens (see plant pathology).

		Oomycetes or "water molds" are a group of organisms that physically resemble fungi.
		Unlike fungi, however, the cell walls of oomycetes are composed of cellulose instead of chitin and they do not have cell septations.
		The oomycetes produce sexual spores called oospores that are microscopic, translucent double-walled spherical structures useful for survival in adverse environmental conditions.

	Judelson: oomycetes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Oomycetes are a large collection of important species that include both saprophytes and significant parasites of plants (Pythium, Phytophthora, white rusts, downy mildews), animals, and insects.
		All oomycetes are diploid in the vegetative phase with meiosis occurring during gametogenesis.
		Some examples of oomycetes that are pathogenic on species other than plants include: Pythium insidiosum, which infects animals ("swamp cancer"); Lagenidium giganteum, which parasitizes the larval stage of mosquitoes and is being used as a potential control agent; and Saprolegnia, which infect several species of fish.

		The Oomycetes, also known as water molds, are terrestrial and aquatic fungallike organisms in the kingdom Stramenopila.
		Oomycete cell walls contain cellulose (a β-1,4-linked glucan) and the amino acid hydroxyproline, whereas cell walls of true fungi are composed of chitin and glucans other than cellulose.
		The vegetative state of Oomycetes is diploid, whereas true fungi are haploid or dikaryotic.

	Introduction to the Oomycota
		They are filamentous protists which must absorb their food from the surrounding water or soil, or may invade the body of another organism to feed.
		Oomycetes are oogamous, producing large non-motile gametes called eggs, and smaller gametes called sperm.
		The cell wall of oomycetes, however, is not composed of chitin, as in the fungi, but is made up of a mix of cellulosic compounds and glycan.

		The oomycetes are a group of diverse organisms that in-dude significant pathogens of plants, insects, and animas as well as saprophytic species.
		oomycetes infecting plants in-elude obligate pathogens, such as the downy mildews and the white rusts, and facultative pathogens within the genera Phytophthora and Pythium.
		Oomycetes are consequently less well characterized as a group than are other fungi such as ascomycetes-and basidiomycetes, for which sophisticated procedures for molecular and classical genetic analyses have been avail-able for many years.

		The oomycetes represent a diverse group of organisms that includes pathogens of plants, insects, fish, and other animals, as well as saprophytic species.
		However, modern molecular and biochemical analyses suggest that oomycetes share little taxonomic affinity to fungi, but rather form a diverse and well defined group of eukaryotes with some affinity to golden and brown algae.
		The oomycetes comprise numerous destructive plant pathogens, including about 60 species of the genus Phytophthora, several genera of the biotrophic downy mildews, and more than 100 species of the genus Pythium.

	Biomedical terms Oomycetes
		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.

		The Oomycetes are the largest group of heterotrophic Stramenopiles.
		Some of the terrestrial Oomycetes are among the most important plant pathogenic organisms that may be facultatively or obligately parasitic.
		The organisms range from those preferring well-aerated streams to some that occur in stagnant waters and that may gain most of their energy from anaerobic metabolism.

		A novel construction of a benthic disk was suggested to study development of two groups of aquatic fungi of benthic communities.
		A long-term exposure of bait-containing microboxes attached to the disk has revealed an intensive accumulation of biomass of typical aquatic oomycetes at the near-bottom level.
		Experiments with soil oomycetes demonstrated the ability of some of their species to develop both in water and in bottom sediments.

		The distribution of elicitin-like gene sequences and the capacity of particular species to secrete biologically active elicitins has been determined within and between genera of the Oomycetes.
		All species which in liquid culture secreted protein active in the specific elicitin bioassay, contained small families of elicitin-like gene sequences and no such sequences were found elsewhere.
		Distribution of the elicitin-like gene sequences was compared with previously established phylogenetic relationships between the Oomycete families.
