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.{{cite journal|title=The genus Apodachlya |author=RPWM Jacobs |date=1982 |journal=Antonie van Leeuwenhoek |volume=48 |issue=4 |pages=389–399|doi=10.1007/BF00418292 |pmid=7149703 }} They reproduce asexually in the water. Zoospores encyst at the tip in a manner similar to the genus Achlya.
