Mycetozoa is a polyphyletic grouping of slime molds. [2] It was originally thought to be a monophyletic clade, but recently it was discovered that protostelia are a polyphyletic group within Conosa. [3]

Mycetozoa are amoebozoans primarily inhabiting the soil, ancestrally with three contrasting life cycle stages: an amoeboid trophic stage, an ancestrally biciliate zoospore or dispersal phase, and a fruiting body stage in which walled spores (equivalent to the resting cysts of other protozoa) are raised on stalks for better dispersal ...

Oct 28, 1997 · The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic...

Mycetozoa is a grouping of slime molds. Most categories of organisms have "common names" in spoken languages.

Jan 1, 2010 · Mycetozoa, characterized by spore-bearing fruiting bodies, are the most diverse Amoebozoa. They traditionally comprise three taxa: Myxogastria, Dictyostelia and Protostelia.

Oct 28, 1997 · The Mycetozoa include the cellular (dictyostelid), acellular (myxogastrid), and protostelid slime molds. However, available molecular data are in disagreement on both the monophyly and phylogenetic position of the group. Ribosomal RNA trees show the myxogastrid and dictyostelid slime molds as unrela …

Oct 28, 1997 · Myxomycetes, also known as Mycetozoa (De Bary 1859, 1864, Rostafiński 1874, 1875, 1876, Lister 1894, 1911, 1925, are amoeboid protists, regarded as 'protozoan fungal analogues'.

Sep 1, 2009 · Mycetozoa, characterized by spore-bearing fruiting bodies, are the most diverse Amoebozoa. They traditionally comprise three taxa: Myxogastria, Dictyostelia and Protostelia.

The Myxomycetes, or true slime molds often designated as slime molds, or slime fungi, or Mycetozoa as they are called, are a unique group of fungus-like orga­nisms concerning whose origin and relationships there is no common agreement. They exhibit characteristic of both animals and plants.

Mycetozoa are amoebozoans primarily inhabiting the soil, ancestrally with three contrasting life cycle stages: an amoeboid trophic stage, an ancestrally biciliate zoospore or dispersal phase, and a fruiting body stage in which walled spores (equivalent to the resting cysts of other protozoa) are raised on stalks for better dispersal ...
