Introduction

This goal of this site is to provide a web-based resource of information on zoosporic fungi, an informal group which includes chytrids, oomycetes, labyrinthulids, and various other protists. Here you will find links to a glossary defining terms commonly used with zoosporic fungi, a photogallery with pictures of the organisms, and a guide on how to isolate and maintain these organisms in culture. There are also links to recent publications on zoosporic fungi, jobs, and links to other sites. Below is a list of the organisms that fall into the zoosporic fungi catagory. Click on the names to take you to each individual organism page. Each page contains information on the life cycles, physiology, ultrastructure, taxonomy, and phylogeny of the various groups.
