Water Molds of the Order Saprolegniales (Oomycota) in Associationwith Baikalian Species of Fishes and Sponges
We performed first molecular identification and comparison of the spectrum of representatives of the order Saprolegniales (Oomycota) in Baikalian sponges and on investments of fishes under native conditions of Lake Baikal and under the conditions of aquarium exposition. We found out similar spectrum of water molds in fishes and Baikalian sponges in aquarium exposition and presence in Baikalian sponges of a species close to Leptolegnia chapmanii, which is parasite in insects larvae. We analyzed the results of detection of representatives of the order Saprolegniales and factors influencing the frequency of their occurrence in the samples of sponges from Lake Baikal.
