The Labyrinthulomycetes (ICBN) or Labyrinthulea[1] (ICZN) are a class of protists that produce a network of filaments or tubes,[2] which serve as tracks for the cells to glide along and absorb nutrients for them. The two main groups are the (or slime nets) and . They are mostly marine, commonly found as parasites on algae and seagrasses or as decomposers on dead plant material. They also include some parasites of marine invertebrates.[3]

Characteristics[]

Although they are outside the cells, the filaments of Labyrinthulomycetes are surrounded by a membrane. They are formed and connected with the cytoplasm by a unique organelle called a sagenogen or bothrosome. The cells are uninucleated and typically ovoid, and move back and forth along the amorphous network at speeds varying from 5-150 μm per minute. Among the labyrinthulids, the cells are enclosed within the tubes, and among the thraustochytrids, they are attached to their sides.

Classification[]

Further information: Wikispecies:Labyrinthulomycetes

Labyrinthulomycetes/Labyrinthulea used to belong to the defunct fungal phylum Labyrinthulomycota.[4] They were originally considered unusual slime moulds, although they are not very similar to the other sorts. The structure of their zoospores and genetic studies show them to be a primitive group of heterokonts, but their classification and treatment remains somewhat unsettled.

This class has usually two orders, Labyrinthulales and Thraustochytriales (ICBN), or Labyrinthulida and Thraustochytrida (ICZN),[5] but a third has recently been proposed.[6][7][8]

Genetic code[]

The labyrinthulomycete is notable for the alternative genetic code of its mitochondria which use TTA as a stop codon instead of coding for Leucine.[10] This code is represented by NCBI translation table 23, Thraustochytrium mitochondrial code.[11]
