FUNGI

FUNGI

CHARACTERISITIC
1. - Multicellular
  1. -multinucleated
    1. -can germinate by spore
      1. -chemoorganoheteretrophs (fungi depends on organic matter for its source of carbon for growth and development)
        -saprophytes (lives on dead/decaying organic matter)
        -cell wall made of chitin (same material that can be found in exoskeleton of insects)
        -reproduce sexually and asexually
structure
1. unicellular fungi is yeast
  1. vegetative structure of fungus = thallus
    1. thallus consist of long branch filamentous structure called hyphae
      1. abundance and tangled in a collective hyphae is called mycelium
feeding forms of fungi
1. saprobic heterotrophs
2. parasitic heterotrophs
3. mutualistic heterotrophs
life cycles of fungi in Ascomycota & Basidiomycota
1. Teleomorphic
  1. sexual and asexual spores
2. Anamorphic
  1. asexual spores
3. Holomorphic
  1. Anamorphic + Teleomorphic
Anaerobic rumen fungi CHRYTIDIOMYCOTA
1. Obligate anaerobs
  1. decompose cellulose
    1. motile due to flagellum
      1. reproduction can be through spore dispersal
        neocallimastigales
