Apodachlya Explained

Apodachlya is a genus of water mold within the order Leptomitales.[1]

Physical characteristics

Apodachlya are characterized by the structure of their hyphae, which are constricted into septae-like structures which enclose cellulin plugs, preventing the loss of cytoplasm in the case of cell rupture.[2] They reproduce asexually in the water.[2] Zoospores encyst at the tip in a manner similar to the genus Achlya.
