Lobulomycetales
Description
2.2.3 Lobulomycetales (Lobulomycetes, Chytridiomycota)
Lobulomycetales was introduced by Simmons et al. (2009) based on genetic analyses, morphology, and ultrastructural data, with Lobulomyces (Lobulomycetaceae) and L. angularis as the type genus and species, respectively. Features of the order are a polycentric or monocentric thallus, multiple rhizoidal axes, spherical motile zoospores with or without a flagellar plug, ultrastructural details of the kinestosome, growing on chitin in soil and freshwater/seawater. Two families are assigned to the order Lobulomycetaceae and (Alogomycetaceae). Alogomyces tanneri (Alogomycetaceae) is known from marine habitats; based on environmental DNA samples from the deep ocean (Le Calvez et al. 2009; Yan et al. 2020).
