Ascomycota

We isolated thirty thermophilic fungi with ability to grow at 45 °C on medium containing wheat bran and casein as carbon sources and produced proteases in both SSF and SmF (data not shown). The fungus strain F.2.1.4 presented the highest protease activity and was sub-jected to taxonomic characterization. Analyses of macro and micro-morphological characteristics accommodated the isolate F.2.1.4 in the genus Myceliophthora due to the presence of spreading colonies with dense aerial mycelium and blastic

Yeast? 2013). There is several hundreds of kinds of yeast. The organisms in kingdom fungi are mushrooms, yeasts, molds, rusts, smuts, puffballs, truffles, morels, and molds (Kingdom Yeast 2014). Yeast is in separated into two categories; sac fungi Ascomycota and higher fungi Basidiomycota. Yeast is a eukaryotic cell and has a nucleus and has DNA. “They are non-vascular organisms (Kingdom Fungi 2014)”. They are heterotrophic, asexual and sexual spores are produced, and the nuclei is small (Kingdom Yeast

Allelopathic activity of the extract of R. maritimus The aqueous methanol extracts of R. maritimus significantly inhibited the shoot and root growth of all plants tested. A complete (100 %) inhibition of the shoot and root growth of cress, rapeseed and foxtail fescue was found from the extract obtained from 0.3 g dry weight of the R. maritimus plant mL–1. At the same concentration, the extract also significantly inhibited the shoot and root growth of barnyard grass by 8.1 and 1.9 % of control shoot

obtain their nutrients from living hosts. 4. Know the classification of fungal diseases (mycoses). 30% of known fungal species produce mycoses, which are fungal diseases of plants, animals, and humans. Classifications of fungi are; Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. 5. Know economic effects of fungi. Fungi produce gallic acid, which is used in photographic developers, dyes, indelible ink, as well as in the production of artificial flavoring, perfumes, chlorine, alcohols, and several

Introduction Sordaria fimicola is a commonly studied species of fungi from the phylum of Ascomycota, commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. Sordaria is more specifically studied in many mycology labs to gain a greater understanding of the exceptional formation of as many as 8 haploid ascospores. Normally Sordaria and other fungi exists as a haploid organism, but occasionally when the mycelium from two individuals meet, a diploid zygote is formed. The diploid cell is formed by the fusion

cellulose like what the Plant cell walls are made up of, they are heterotrophic absorbers, and normally are not motile cells at any stages of their lifecycles. The kingdom of fungi is broken up into four phyla called Microsporidia, Zygomacota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. These four phyla range from unicellular parasites all the way to mushrooms. Fungi can be used for many things, good and bad, in the society that we live in. Some ways that fungi are used that are good to society our fungi

14). Currently, there are ten drugs that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat tuberculosis. There are four approved drugs that are considered to be first-line antituberculosis agents that form the foundation for initial drug therapy. Also, there are six approved second-line drugs that are considered to treat a more serious adverse drug reaction more frequently than first-line antituberculosis agents. Therefore, it is important to take all prescribed drugs and finish

Nicole Hain Bio 110 Sordaria fimicola Lab Report Introduction “Evolution Canyon” consists of two slopes in Israel that are close in proximity, but have a huge difference in environment. This makes the slopes a good model system for exploring evolution, especially because they’re so close to one another. The South Facing Side (SFS) receives more sunlight than the North Facing Side (NFS). This extreme sun exposure causes the South slope to have drought and arid conditions whereas the North side has

Black Sigatoka of banana and plantain caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis History and distribution of the disease The Sigatoka disease complex currently comprises three organisms: Mycosphaerella fijiensis M. Morelet, M. musicola R. Leach ex J.L. Mulder, and M. eumusae Crous & Mour. The first species identified was M. musicola in Indonesia in 1902 (Jones 2000) causing the yellow Sigatoka; since then it is present in most banana-growing regions, and it has been a problem in high altitudes and cool

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT At this point of time I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude towards my head of the department Dr. J.K Srivastava for his prompt and timely help and valuable suggestions during the development of this project. I am highly indebted to the project coordinators Mr. Sujeet P. Singh for providing the material possible and encouraging throughout the course. I would also express my gratitude towards
