Introduction to Mycology Flashcards
They produce sexual spores within the sac-like structure
Phylum Ascomycota
In the process of sexual reproduction of fungi, this, phase involves the fusion of protoplasm.
Plasmogamy
Sexual spores formed through the fusion of two nonidentical hyphae.
Oospore
The Conjugated Fungi.
Phylum Zygomycota
These asexual spores are produced in a sac like structure.
Sporangiospores
Human commensal species of the genus
Malassezia belongs to this phylum.
Phylum Basidiomycota
The sexual reproduction is entirely absent.
Phylum Deuteromycota
It is a budding spores usually formed at the
terminal end of hyphae.
Blastospores
This asexual spore is formed by separation
followed by fragmentation of hyphae.
Arthrospores
They have well developed, branched, septate mycelium except yeast.
Phylum Deuteromycota
Sexual reproduction is carried out by diffusion of compatible nuclei from two parent at a definite state in the life cycle of fungi.
Meiosis (NOT SURE)
They Are very primitive type of spore formed
by the breaking up of fungal mycelium.
Arthrospores
Are single celled, bicelled or multicelled
structure born on the tip or side of aerial hyphal structure.
Conidiospore
The vegetative body is mycelium which is well developed, profusely branched and coenocytic.
Phylum Zygomycota
In the process of sexual reproduction of fungi,
this phase involves fusion of nucleus.
Karyogamy
Cryptococcus neoformans.
Phylum Basidiomycota
Genus Penicillum
Phylum Ascomycota
The asexual reproduction takes place by
sporangiospores, aplanospores or by conidia. Sexual reproduction occurs by conjugation of gametangia.
Phylum Zygomycota
Sexual spores formed when two sexually
compatible hyphae or gametangia of certain fungi fuse together.
Zygospores
These sexual spores are unique to the
zygomycetes.
Sporangiospores
These sexual spores serve as the main air
dispersal unit for the fungi.
Basidiospores
Bread molds.
Phylum Zygomycota
Most edible fungi belong to this Phylum.
Phylum Basidiomycota
These fungi have a thallus of coenocytic hyphae
in which the nuclei are haploid when the organism
is in the vegetative stage.
Phylum Zygomycota
Asexually they reproduce by non-motile conidia. Sexual reproduction takes place by the fusion of gametangia of opposite mating types.
Phylum Ascomycota
These are usually formed during unfavorable
condition and are thick walled single celled spore,
which are highly resistant to adverse condition.
Chlamydospores
Examples: Penicillium, Apergillus.
Conidiospore
Examples: Histoplasma capsulatum, Candida
albicans
Chlamydospores
Class Blastomycetes
Phylum Deuteromycota
Includes yeasts used in baking, brewing, and
wine fermentation.
Phylum Ascomycota
