Achlya bisexualis es un oomiceto de la familia Saprolegniaceae que descompone materia orgánica en hábitats de agua dulce y puede actuar como patógeno de peces e invertebrados. Presenta un fascinante sistema de reproducción sexual mediado por feromonas, extensamente estudiado como modelo de señalización hormonal esteroide en eucariotas inferiores. Sus colonias miceliares colonizan rápidamente restos de insectos y plantas en aguas de escasa corriente.
