Oomycetes Fungilysine synthesis is by diaminopimeic alpha-aminodipic acid (AAA)
pathway (DAP)-same as plants occur in animalssynthesize sterols (Peronosporales don't) all synthesize sterols (animals do)
many, if not all, are diploid haploid or dikaryotic
have cellulose in cell wall B,1-3 & 1-6 glucans and chitin
(B,1-3 & 1-6 glucans w/5-20% cellulose)well-defined Golgi bodies lacks well-defined Golgi bodies
mitochondria-tubular cristae plate cristae
no polyols (sugar alcohols) translocate sugar alcohols
storage products are typically store as glycogen
B,1-3 laminarinssexual reproduction by gametangial contact reproduction otherwise
"sexual" spores are oospore (2N) sexual spores (N)-product of meiosis
meiosis is gametangial meiosis not gametangial (some fungi have gametangia)
motile cells are heterokont motile cells, if present, isokont with whiplash flagellae
