Physical characteristics
Apodachlya are characterized by the structure of their hyphae, which are constricted into septae-like structures which enclose cellulin plugs, preventing the loss of cytoplasm in the case of cell rupture.3 They reproduce asexually in the water.3 Zoospores encyst at the tip in a manner similar to the genus Achlya.
