Q

Two Types of Mycelia

A

Vegetative Mycelia: Thallus; Penetrates the medium and grows below the surface
Aerial Mycelia: Reproductive part; growth above the surface

23
Q

Fertile Mycelia

A

Bears the reproductive structure, conidia or sporangia and produces spores

24
Q

Differentiate.

Saprophytic Fungi vs. Parasitic Fungi

A

Saprophytic Fungi feeds DEAD organisms/tissues

Parasitic fungi feeds LIVING organisms/tissues

25
Ability of Fungi to changes its structure, from molds to yeast (vice versa) based on different or changed in temperatures.
Dimorphism
26
True or False. Yeast Form - 22 - 30C (ambient temperature) Mold form - 30 - 37C (human tissues or body)
False. Mold Form - 22 - 30C (ambient temperature) Yeast form - 30 - 37C (human tissues or body)
27
This causes poisoning from grains wheat and ryes causing degeneration of capillaries and neurologic impairment
Agent: Ergot Poisoning: Ergotism
28
Fungi Imperfecti
Asexual spore reproduction, no known sexual stage
29
Perfect Fungi
Sexual spore reproduction
30
Types of Reproduction
Sexual reproduction - perfect fungi | Asexual Reproduction - imperfect fungi
31
Enumerate Asexual Spores
1. Thallospores: Arthrospores, Blastospores, Chlamydospores. | 2. Conidia: Microconidia, Macroconidia
32
Asexual production based on FRAGMENTATION at the end of the Hyphae or at point of septation
Arthrospores/Arthroconidia
33
Asexual production due to budding of cell
Blastospores/Blastoconidia
34
Asexual production formed by enlargement or swelling of the hyphae
Chlamydospores/Chlamydoconidia
35
Thallospores
Asexual spore reproduction directly from the Hyphae or the thallus (body) itself.
36
Phialides
Conidiaspores terminate in a swollen vesicle, appearing in "flasked shaped projections"
37
Sporangiospores
Spores formed within a large sac-like structure, sporangium.
38
Plasmogamy
Joining of two cells and fusion of their protoplast
39
Karyogamy
Two haploid nuclei of two cells fuse and form diploid nucleus
40
Gametangia
Sex organelles
41
True or False. Male gametangia - OOGONIUM Female gametangia - ANTHERIDIUM
False. Female gametangia - OOGONIUM Male gametangia - ANTHERIDIUM
42
Sexual Spores
Formed by nuclear fusion that undergo sexual spore reproduction called as Perfect Fungi
43
Sexual Spores
Ascospores - produced in ASCUS (sac-like structure) Basidiospores - formed from BASIDIUM (end club shaped structure) Zygospores - conjugation of identical cells by its two hyphal tips Oospores - formed within OOGONIUM
44
Zygomycetes
Hyphae: Sparsely Septate Hyphae Asexual reproduction: Sporangiospores Sexual reproduction: Zygospores
45
Ascomycetes
Hyphae: True septate Hyphae Sexual spores: Ascospores Asexual spores: Conidia
46
Basdiomycetes
Sexual spores: Basdiospores
47
Deuteromycetes
No sexual reproduction | Asexual spores: Conidia
48
This toxins from spoiled grains, and peanuts causes hepatic carcinoma and liver damage
Toxins: Aflatoxins (B1) Agent: Aspergillus flavus Disease: Aflatoxicoses
49
Five Categories of Mycoses
``` Superficial Mycoses Subcutaneous Mycoses Cutaneous Mycoses Systemic Mycoses Opportunistic Mycoses ```
50

Binary fission b. Unisexual division c. Budding d. Outpouch germing
c. Budding
51
The loose intertwined network of basic structural units of the molds that penetrates the substrate from which it obtains the necessary nutrients for growth is called which of the following? a. Hyphae b. Germ tubes c. Pseudohyphae d. Mycelium
d. Mycelium
52
Large, usuallymultiseptate and club-shaped or spindleshaped spores are called which of the following? a. Microconidia b. Macroconidia c. Conidiophores d. Phialides
b. Macroconidia
53
``` Blastoconidia are the beginning of which structures? A. Arthroconidia B. Germ tubes C. Pseudohyphae D. True hyphae ```
C. Pseudohyphae
