Chapter 12 Flashcards
Contain cross-walls called septa
Units are uninucleate
Septate Hypha
Septate hypha Coenocyte hypha Vegetative hypha Reproductive or aerial hypha Pseudohypha
Different Hyphae
Do not contain septa
Appear continuous with many nuclei
Coenocytic hypha
Portion of hypha that obtains nutrients
Vegetative hypha
Portions of hypha concerned with reproduction
Projects above surface
Often bear reproductive spores
Reproductive or Aerial Hypha
Found in some buffing yeast
Short chain of buds that is unable to detach
Pseudohypha
Entire vegetative structure body if fungus
Consist of long filaments of cells joined together
Thallus
Long filament of cells in fungi
Each fragment oh hypha capable of growth
Hypha
Mass of long filaments of cells that branch and intertwine
Mycelium
Yeast. Molds and mushrooms
Aerobic And anaerobic
Reproduce by spores
Both sexual and asexual
Fungi
chemoautotrophic
fungi
Type of conida formed by the fragment of a separated hypha into single slightly thickened cells
Coccidioides immitis
Arthroconidia
Type of conida that consist of buds coming off the parent cell.
Some yeast like Candida albicans produce
Blastoconidia
Unicellular or multicellular spore that is not encoded on a sac
They are produced on a chain at the end of a Conidiospore
Conidiospore
Arthrospore
Blastoconidia
Conidiospore
Chlamydospores
Sporangiophores
Asexual spores
Most common method of sexual
Reproduction in fungi
Born on mycelium
Formed by the hyphae of one organism. Produce by individual fungus through mitosis n cell divisions
Asexual spores
Formed from aerial hyphae
Sexual or asexual
True reproductive spore
Less tolerant to dry or hot environments
Fungal spores
Thick walled spores formed by rounding and enlargement within a hyphal segment.
Candida albicans
Chlamydospores
Formed within a sporangium or sac at the end of an aerial hypha
Ex. Rhizopus
Sporangiophores
- Plasmogamy
- Karyogamy
- Meiosis
Sexual spore reproduction
Haploid nucleus of a donor cell (+) penetrates the cytoplasm of a recipient cell (-)
Plasmogamy
Then + and - nucleus fuse to form
Zygote
Karyogamy
The diploid nucleus gives rise to haploid nuclei (sexual spore) some of which genetic recombinant
Meiosis
Fusion of haploid cell
Zygospore
Formed in sac (ascus)
Ascospore
Formed externally on pedestal (basidium)
Basidispore
Fungal infection
Mycosis
Generally chronic
Difficult to treat because of similarities of animal and fungal cells
Fungal infection
Deep within the body through inhalation of spore
Not contagious
Histoplasmosis
Coccidioidomycosis
Systemic mycosis
Breathe skin, spores or mycelial Fragment wound
By saprophytic fungi
Sporotrichosis
Subcutaneous mycosis
