Q

Importance of Fungi

A

-Recycle vital elements
-Produce Cellulase to decompose hard parts of plants
-Symbiotic with plants [e.g. Mycorrhizae]
-Food (Mushrooms, Breads, Citric acid), and Drugs (Alcohol and Penicillin)

Q

Yeast dividing evenly/symmetrically [E.g., Schizosaccharomyces]

A

Fission Yeast

17
Q

Exhibit Fungal Dimorphism—two forms of growth (Can grow either Mold or Yeast)

A

Dimorphic Fungi

18
Q

Dimorphism in pathogenic fungi is temperature-dependent:
-at 37°C, the fungus is [a], and
-at 25°C, it is [b]

A

[a] Yeastlike
[b] moldlike

19
Q

Dimorphism dependent on CO2 concentration.

A

Mucor indicus

20
Q

Allow a bacterial cell to survive adverse environnemental

A

Bacterial endospore

21
Q

Forms a spore, that detaches from the parent and germinates into a new mold.

22
Q

Formed by the hyphae of one organism. When these spores germinate, they become organisms that are genetically identical to the parent.

A

Asexual Spores

23
Q

Result from the fusion of nuclei from two opposite mating strains of the same species of fungus.

A

Sexual Spores

24
Q

Types of Asexual Spores

A

Conidiospores (Conidium)
-Arthroconidia
-Blastoconidia
-Chlamydoconidia

Sporangiospore (Sporangium)

25
A unicellular or multicellular spore that is not enclosed in a sac; produced in a chain at the end of a conidiophore.
Conidiospores (Conidium)
26
Example of Conidiospores
Penicillium and Aspergillus
27
A type of conidiospore formed by the fragmentation of a septate hypha into single, slightly thickened cells
Arthroconidia
28
A type of conidiospore formed from the buds of its parent cell
Blastoconidia
29
A type of conidiospore formed by rounding and enlargement within a hyphal segment
Chlamydoconidia
30
Formed within a sporangium, or sac, at the end of an aerial hypha called a sporangiophore
Sporangiospore
31
Three phases of Fungal Sexual Reproduction
Plasmogamy (Haploid donor penetrates recipient) Karyogamy (D+R fse to for diploid zygote nucleus) Meiosis (Diploid nucleus produce haploid nuclei)
32
Types of Sexual Spores
Zygosporangium Ascospore Basidiospore
