Talk:Actinomycota

The scientific community once accepted this as a fungi, thus the suffix -mycota (meaning fungus), though it has recognized bacterial properties. Thomas B 07:45, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Actinomycetes
What's the relationship between Actinomycota and Actinomycetes (the latter redirects to Actinobacteria)? Should these items be merged, or are they completely distinct? If distinct, can we de-orphan this article by including a reference in the other?

 * I don't know a lot about this subject, but it's looking more and more like this should be merged with Actinomycetes. I can't find any direct evidence of this, but by inference, based on the way that suffix is used in other areas: check out the wordnet definition of Eumycetes, it claims that it is coextensive with Eumycota.  Not dispositive, but highly suggestive we should do a merge and a redirect, given consent of anyone who knows anything about fungi.Thomas B 20:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I've been told that -mycetes and -mycota are the same thing, or one is a group name for the other. Can't find any links to that info, and it's out of my field... but point being, someone who knows about merging should go for it!Thomas B 17:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
