Pythium porphyrae has only been naturally observed infecting two species in Bangiales: Pyropia plicata and Neopyropia yezoensis. [16] However, Diehl et al. (2017) have found that the parasite can successfully infect other Pyropia and Porphyra species. [6] Some Porphyra species can be used to make biomaterials for biomedicines. [17]
