Biology:Rozellomyceta
Rozellomyceta is a subkingdom in the kingdom Fungi. In the consensus accepted by fungus researchers as of 2024, it contains only the Rozellomycota, which in turn contains Microsporidia as a class.[1][2]
An earlier view by fungus researchers divides it into two phyla, the Rozellomycota and Microsporidia as a phylum.[3] A more fitting name for Microsporidia as a phylum could be Microsporidiomycota Benny 2007. This is no longer done because "recent phylogenies indicate that Microsporidia are deeply nested within Rozellomycota".[2]
Protistologists do not agree with the assignment of this subkingdom as fungi, because they subscribe to a narrow view of fungi as an osmotropic-only lineage (the eumycota), while this clade is largely phagotrophic. They believe that this clade should be the responsibility of protozoologists.[1]
- Under older protist classification, the included taxa are sometimes classified under the subkingdom Sarcomastigota within the kingdom Protozoa instead,[4] although Sarcomastigota is considered paraphyletic.[5]
- Under another style of protist classification, this group belongs in Opisthosporidia. This too is paraphyletic.[6]
- Protists that have accepted the current phylogeny proposes the name Opishophagea for what they call "Rosalida + Microsporidia".[7]
