Module 8 Flashcards
1
Q
Cell structure
A
- Single cell diving by budding/fission
- Hyphae (long filaments): septate or coenocytic (one tube)
- Kinda like animal cell but with a cell wall
2
Q
Gold standard
A
comparative-sequence based analysis
3
Q
Trophics
A
- Biotrophic = living host
- Hemitrophic = infection through living, development through dead cell
- Necrotrophic = killed host
4
Q
Thigmotrophic
A
recognize topography of host
5
Q
Chytridiomycota
A
- Old + diverse
- Motile zoospore reproduction
- H2O habitat
- Bd fungus
6
Q
Zygomycota
A
- Food spoilage
- Endomycorrhizal associations (positive)
- Sporangiospore = non-motile asexual
- Zygospore = sexual
7
Q
Ascomycota
A
- Saprophytic stage (outside cell when infecting)
- Conidia = non-motile asexual
- Ascospores = sexual
- Rice blast (most destructive plant pathogen)
- Histoplasmosis (dimorphic)
- Candida auris: resistant + easy spread, climate change mediated disease
- Coccidioides
8
Q
Basidiomycota
A
- Puccinia graminis = biblical proportions
- Leaf rust, wheat stem rust, corn smut
9
Q
Gold standard
A
- WGST
- Identifies SNPs to create phylogenies to map clonal microbes
- Synonymous/neutral SNPs are better (evolutionary informative, slow to mutate)
- State conflicts = genome-wide SNP
