fungus-structure Penny bun (Boletus edulis)
mold Conidia=conidiophores? Penicillium is Ascomycete. Bread mold Rhizopus=Zygomycota.
yeast Ascomycota; bud: unequal cytoplasm?
life_cycle NO ALT of GEN (phytes no embryo). Zygote meiosis like plasmodium.
REVU: germination from spores. Hyphae release pheromones mating types. Heterokaryotic: haploid nuclei.
Exercise germination twice. 3 Zygomycota also germination twice.
Zygomycetes_cycle Bread mold Rhizopus; heterokaryotic looks like zygote (egg).
Pilobolus stalk swolls w sap explodes; light-sensitive.
mycorrhiza 90% plants.
Ascomycetes Asco + Basidio = Dikarya. Carp=fruit (chap 30 word root)
Ascomycetes_cycle Dikaryo -> hyphae, not heterokaryo; conidia=asexual spores <- conidiophore. Tetrad.
Basidiomycetes PUFFBALL, SHELF FUNGUS
lichen LICHEN.

  1. Saprobe: An organism that derives its nourishment from nonliving or decaying organic matter.
  2. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Brewer's yeast: a by-product of brewing, dried and killed, and used as nutritional yeast (vegans and health buffs) dried at higher temperatures than baking yeast, rendering it inactive Baker's yeast (Fleischmann's, Red Star), also used in fermentation of beer and wine.
    Ale and Weiss yeasts: Saccharomyces cerevisiae Lager yeast : S. pastorianus
  3. COD 273 acres
  4. zoa (zoo): animal (Greek)
  5. Zygomycota: Plasmogamy produces a sturdy structure called a zygosporangium, in which karyogamy and then meiosis occur.
  6. Neurospora crassa a bread mold: 2003 its entire genome was published.
    Neosporin antibiotic causes bacteria to produce defective proteins.
  7. Penicillin discovered by Alexander Fleming 1928: juice killed bacteria. Mary Hunt of Dept of Agriculture lab in Peoria, Illinois found cantaloupe in neighbor's trash.
