Fungi O2 Recs:
facultative anaerobe, anaerobic
pseudohyphae
occur when a yeast is growing very rapidly; looks like a chain
Hyphae-Mycelium
septate, coenocytic-no crosswalls or cell separation-multinucleated, vegetative, reproductive- responsible for spore production
Fungi asexual spores
Sporangiospores, Conidia
Fungi sexual spores
Zygospores, Ascospores, Basidiospores
Fungi that produce sexual and asexual spores
Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota
Fungi that produce only sexual spores
Deuteromycota
Zygomycota
Sex: zygospores; asex: sporangiospores and some conidia; mostly free-living molds
Ascomycota
Sex: Ascospores; asex: Conidia; molds and yeasts; contains many pathogens
Basidiomycota
sex: Basidiospores; asex: Conidia; mushrooms, yeasts and molds
Deuteromycota
sex: conidia; yeasts and mold; several dimorphic, several human pathogens
