The plantlike protists include the golden algae (phylum Chrysophyta), dinoflagellates (Pyrrophyta), cryptomonads (Cryptophyta), and euglenoids (Euglenophyta). The animal like protists, which are also called protozoa, include the animal flagellates (Zoomastigina), amoeboid forms (Sarcodina), ciliates and suctorians (Ciliophora), and the parasitic, spore-producing sporozoans (Sporozoa). Fungus-like forms include the hyphochytrids (Hyphochytridiomycota) and the plasmodiophores (Plasmodiophoromycota). The slime molds, which include several disputed phyla here treated as belonging to the Protista, have characteristics of both fungi and
