Summary Introduction
Introduction: “Ascomycetes” are the sac fungal with the largest variety of members. They are identified by their fruiting bodies called conidia and sexual reproductive structure ascus. They are also the group that causes most of the diseases in humans. Besides these, they also provide us antibiotics, baking agent edible forms, and so on.
