Achlya bisexualis é um oomiceto da família Saprolegniaceae que decompõe matéria orgânica em habitats de água doce e pode atuar como patógeno de peixes e invertebrados em determinadas condições. Apresenta um fascinante sistema de reprodução sexual mediado por feromonas, amplamente estudado como modelo de sinalização por hormonas esteroides em eucariotas inferiores. As suas colónias miceliais colonizam rapidamente restos de insetos e plantas em águas de corrente lenta.
