Position in ITS phylogenetic tree

Clade 6b

Colonies and cardinal temperatures

Colony morphology is stellate to rosaceous on CA, V8A, and PDA. Minimum growth temperature 10°C, optimum 31.5°C, and maximum 38°C.

Conditions for growth and sporulation

Sporangia are produced in water cultures (soil extract or river water) and not observed in solid media. Oogonia are not observed in single culture or when paired with tester strains.

Asexual phase

Sporangia are nonpapillate, persistent, broad ovoid to elongated ovoid with average dimensions of 53 ± 7.6 × 36.4 ± 6.1 μm (overall range 37–72 × 21–54 μm). Sporangiophores are simple and internal proliferation both nested and extended occurred in chains. Hyphal swellings are ellipsoid and non-catenulate. Chlamydospores absent.

Sexual phase

Sterile in culture.

Most typical characters

Phytophthora fluvialis is in a species cluster with P. amnicola, P. litoralis, P. moyootj, and P. thermophila, all recovered from waterways in Western Australia. Among these species, it has the highest maximum temperature for growth.
