Mycology

Mycology - chapter 15

QuestionAnswer
Mycology study of fungi
3 structures of fungi Mushrooms, Molds, Yeasts
Mold characteristics Multicellular, hyphae, mycelia, reproduce by spores (asexually or sexually)
Yeast characteristics Unicellular, colonies remenble bacterial colonies, reproduct by budding
3 types of fungi parasitic, saprophytes, dimorphic
parasitic fungi live on another prganism, never obligate, facultative parasites
saprophytes live on dead organic material, non-pathogens, decomposers, release carbon and mineral back into the soil
dimorphic "two shapes", switch between single-celled yeast and mycelium, mycelium outside the host, yeasts inside
fungi growth requirements 25 degrees C, acidic conditions, cell wall composed of cellulose and chitin
acidic conditions for fungal growth pH 5-6, often contaminate acidic foods, high concentration of sugar & salt
lab growth Sabourand dextrose agar
yeast reproduction asexual budding
mold reproduction produce asexually (continuous)
types of spores sproangium, arthrospores, blastospores
sporangium spores on fruiting bodies
arthrospores gragmentation of hyphae
blastospores by budding
hyphae long, tables threads of cells
mycelium thick mass of visible hyphae
septate hyphae with cross-wall septa
aseptate hyphae no cross-wall septa
vegatative mycelium mycelium embedded in decaying organic material (below ground)
aerial mycelium grow above the surgave containing spores, various colors & textures
