Achlya

Achlya is a genus of oomycete (water mold). The genus includes several plant pathogens including Achlya conspicua and Achlya klebsiana. Unlike many other microorganisms, cell expansion is governed by changes in cell wall strength rather than changes in osmotic pressure.[1] The genome of Achlya hypogyna has been sequenced and can be accessed on public online databases, for example on the NCBI website (National Center for Biotechnology Information).[2]

This article is about the water mould. For the moth genus of the same name, see Achlya (moth). For the chemical compound, see Achlorhydria.

Achlya
Mainly Achlya sp. Isolated from small stream around rice field. Incubated in room temperature on hemp seed

Species

The genus was first described in 1823 by Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck.[3][4] The type species is Achlya prolifera.[3]

Several Achyla spp. are pathogens of rice seedlings.[5]
