Stramenopile

Jump to navigation Jump to search


Four common forms of Blastocystis hominis. Clockwise from top left: vacuolar, granular, amoeboid, and cyst forms.

The Stramenopile group is a recently recognised[1] informal monophyletic grouping into which a number of microscopic parasitic organisms from the superkingdom Protista and a number of diatoms and brown seaweeds are placed.

Labyrinthulomycota, Hyphochytriomycota, Phytophthora, Aphanomyces, Bremia, Pernospora and the Oomycetes are also protists that form part of the Stramenopile group.[2] The Stramenopile group (or clade) is a sister group of another multicellular clade which includes Plantae, Animalia and Fungi.[3]
