    This document provides an overview of the kingdom Fungi. It describes the unique characteristics of fungi, including being eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, lacking chloroplasts, and having cell walls containing chitin. Fungi are classified into three phyla - Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota - based on their spore-bearing structures. Examples like Rhizopus, Penicillium, and Agaricus are provided. The document also discusses the importance of fungi as decomposers, symbionts, pathogens, in food production, and for pharmaceuticals like penicillin.

    11.4 KINGDOM FUNGI

    PREVIOUS LESSON
    11.3 Kingdom Protista

    OBJECTIVES
    At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
    Describe the unique characteristics of Fungi State the classification of Fungi into 3 major phyla based on types of spore-bearing structure: Zygomycota (Rhizopus) Ascomycota (Penicillium, Saccharomyces) Basidiomycota (Agaricus)

    UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
    Eukaryote Unicellular (Yeast) and multicellular No chloroplast Cell wall-Chitin

    Heterotrophic
    -Parasitic

    -Saprophitic -Mutualist

    Structural Organization

    Basic building units called hyphae

    Form interwoven mat called mycelium

    Not divided into true cells


    Cross-walls or septa (singular septum): divide into compartments
    Septate

    Hyphae without septa


    Non-septate

    CLASSIFICATION
    Based

    on types of spore-bearing structure

    FUNGI Phylum Zygomycota Phylum Basidiomycota

    Rhizopus

    Phylum Ascomycota

    Penicilium, Saccharomyces

    Agaricus

    PHYLUM ZYGOMYCOTA
    Eg: Rhizopus stolonifer (black bread mold)

    Phylum Zygomycota (eg:Rhizopus)

    Sporangium (spores inside) Sporangiophore

    Hyphae (aseptate)
    Rhizoid

    Mycelium (group of hyphae)

    Phylum Zygomycota (eg:Rhizopus)

    PHYLUM ASCOMYCOTA
    Eg: Penicilium, Saccharomyces

    PHYLUM ASCOMYCOTA
    Eg: Penicilium, Ascospore

    Mature asci

    Penicilium sp.

    Saccharomyces sp.

    PHYLUM BASIDIOMYCOTA
    Eg: Agaricus (mushroom) Most advance fungi

    THE IMPORTANCE OF FUNGI


    Decomposers
    Saprophytic fungi
    Feed on dead and decaying organisms Help to recycle nutrients
    Eg: phosphates, ammonia, sulphates

    Symbionts
    Eg: Lichens (Fungi + algae) -Algae photosynthesize and provides organic food -Fungus receives food in exchange for housing, water, and minerals

    -Commonly encrusted on rocks and tree trunks

    Lichen Morphology

    Pathogen
    Some of fungal species are parasites mostly of plants
    Cause huge economic effects

    Commercial food production


    Edible mushrooms
    Popular food, eaten raw or cooked

    Fermented food Yeasts


    Produce alcoholic beverages Raise bread

    Pharmaceutical
    Penicillin
    Used as antibiotics Effective against bacteria that cause pneumonia, meningitis, syphilis
