        Help!  

Question
Answer
Characteristics of fungi:   Achlorophylous,filamentous,reproduce via spores, and obtain nutrients though absorption processes  
🗑
What are the divisions of fungi?   Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota  
🗑
Rusts are part of which fungal division?   Basidomycota  
🗑
Chestnut Blight   Cypronectria parasitica; Ascomycota (sexually and asexually); caused cankers; from Asia;changed the ecosystem; Control by Fungal hypovirulence or breeding hybrids  
🗑
Dutch Elm   Ophiostoma ulmi; Chinese brought the ascomycete fungus pathogen and a beetle during WWI; millions of European Elms died; beetles have mycangium; brought to the US by importing lumber; Control by pruning disease trees, insecticides, or fungicides  
🗑
White pine blister rust   introduced to US from Asia; control by hybrids  
🗑
Nectria canker of beech   introduced from Europe; control scale and trees are less damaged  
🗑
Tar spot of Norway maple   introduced from Europe; control by reducing density of Norway maple  
🗑
Dogwood anthracnose   introduced from Asia; control is taken care of by natural resistance  
🗑
Sudden oak death   Phytophthora ramorum (oomycete); California and Europe; control by burning infected areas and quarantine; bad for nurseries  
🗑
Yeasts   unicellular fungi; haploid; can be short filaments; ascomycetes; reproduce by budding (4 spores); mother cells; ferment sugars  
🗑
Yeast living conditions   lives everywhere; can grow in sugar and 20% alcohol  
🗑
Saccharomyces cerevisiae   king of yeast; eukaryote; ascomycete; unicellular & produces pseudohyphae; divides by budding  
🗑
Budding   results in 2 cells of unequal size, a mother and a daughter cell; mother dies after 30-40 divisions  
🗑
Schizosaccharomyces pombe   the fission yeast; cellular biology; used in some fermentations  
🗑
Kluyveromyces lactis   the milk yeast; lactose fermentation to lactic acid  
🗑
Saccharomyces carlsbergensis and Saccharomyces bayanus   related to S. cerevisiae; brewing and wine making  
🗑
Pichia and Yarrovia species   Ascomycetes associated with insect or found in decaying plant material; can produce methane from lipids  
🗑
Candida albicans   yeast; lacks sexual cycle; human pathogen  
🗑
dimorphic   characteristic of having two growth forms (example: Ascomycetes like Aspergillus or Neurospora, or Basidiomycetes like Cryptococcus)  
🗑
black yeasts   most are Basidiomycetes, some Ascomycetes; known as human pathogens or found in extreme environments  
🗑
Fermentation   microbial conversion of carbohydrates to alcohol or acids  
🗑
Three types of fermentation   Alcohol (1 glucose → 2 ethanol + 2 carbon dioxide ), Lactic acid (1 glucose → 2 lactic acid OR 1 lactose + 1 water → 4 lactate), and Heterolactic acid (1 glucose → 1 lactate + 1 ethanol + 1 CO2)  
🗑
Reasons for fermentation   recreation, freservation, and flavor  
🗑
Zymomonas mobilis   a bacterium that will ferment to ethanol  
🗑
Pulque   wine from agave plant sap; Mexico  
🗑
Flower wines   Korean make Dugyeonju 21% alcohol from azalea petals; sugar needs to be added  
🗑
Kombucha   fermented tea; needs a mother culture  
🗑
Alcohol percents of fermented beverages   Fruit wines – 5% to 16%; Wine (grape) – 5% to 16%; Beer 5-6%, up to 20%; Rice (sake and other kinds) 3% to 20%; Mead (made with grain mash) 8% to 18%; Milk 1-4%  
🗑
Fruit wines   balanced quantities of sugar, acid, tannin to naturally produce a stable, palatable wine; most popular are pear and apple  
🗑
Grape wine   Vitis vinifera for finest wine from Europe; balance between fruit acids and sugars  
🗑
French paradox   protective benefits of regularly consuming red wine; polyphenols, esp. resveratrol: important anti-oxidant compounds found in red wine  
🗑
Banana wine   Mbege; from Tanzania; banana and finger millet  
🗑
Kilju   a Finnish sugar/water wine; low-quality  
🗑
Pruno   Prison wine  
🗑
beer   grain fermentation; 3rd most popular drink; most common is barley or rice; grain must be malted first;  
🗑
malting   process in which the grains are made to germinate by soaking then dried; grain's starches into sugars  
🗑
brewer's yeast   S. cerevisiae carlsbergenis (now known as Saccharomyces pastorianus)  
🗑
Top-fermenting yeast   higher temperatures; produces eastersand flavors and aromas  
🗑
Bottom-fermenting yeast   (the most common beers); cooler conditions ; "crisper" tasting beer  
🗑
Sake   rice wine; more like beer; double fermentation  
🗑
Tesgüino   corn beer from Mexico  
🗑
Mead   honey wine; honey, water, and grain mash; 8-18%  
🗑
Fermented milk (Kefir)   milk with kefir grains; bacteria and yeast in proteins, lipids, and sugars; fermentation of the lactose is sour  
🗑
Fermented milk (Kumis)   mare's milk; mother culture; higher alcohol content thant kefir  
🗑
Blaand   Scottish; fermented milk from whey  
🗑
Rennet   a natural complex of enzymes produced in any mammalian stomach to digest the mother's milk, and is often used in the production of cheese. There are both natural and artificial sources of rennet. And some fungal sources such as a Mucor species  
🗑
